just wanting to figure out how this works..


H3CH2C-Mg-Br   +   H2O  ----> H3CCH2C


does the Mg-Br just go away with the addition of water?

Grignard Reagents aren't just a way to alkylate carbonyls, but they're strong Lewis base and will easily deprotonate water and react that way....

Your reaction formula is also wrong btw...
