Grignard Chemistry Short Course

Grignard Chemistry is a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis. This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Grignard reagents, including their preparation, stability and safety and their diverse applications in organic chemistry. Named after Victor Grignard, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 for this groundbreaking discovery, Grignard reagents have become indispensable tools for chemists seeking to form carbon-carbon bonds, a critical step in building complex molecules both on lab and industrial scales. The integration of continuous processing and flow chemistry will also be discussed.

Throughout this course, we will explore the theoretical foundations of Grignard reactions, delve into the practical aspects of handling these highly reactive organomagnesium compounds, and examine their role in the synthesis of building blocks and advanced intermediates. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize Grignard chemistry in both academic and industrial settings, paving the way for innovative solutions in synthetic organic chemistry.
