Re: grignard rxn.

You're right, sorry, I didn't read carefully. Call that a brain fart,
or a knee jerk response to homework questions on sci.chem, whatever you
want.

But the same textbook that had the question, (and answer provided by
the O.P. no doubt) definitely has the answer to the next question.

Heck, a 2 sec google search leads you right to the answer on the first
hit.

Whatta ya get when you add water to a Grignard reagent? You get the
same thing if water is present while you make the Grignard reagent.
