Good Afternoon Everyone,
In the discussion of Grignard reagents as nucleophiles it
discusses the affinity these reagents have for unsaturated carbons,
especially C=O bonds. With compounds such as alkene constituents on
ketones, carboxylic acids or aldehydes what prevents reactions between the
Grignard reagents and these unsaturated carbons.
