Grignard reagent should be prepared under anhydrous conditions. Give reasons.
Solution and Explanation
Grignard reagents (RMgX) are highly reactive towards moisture. If water is present, it reacts with the Grignard reagent, forming an alkane instead of undergoing the desired reaction. This is why anhydrous conditions are necessary during preparation and storage.
