Hydronium. So are you saying that by adding water the reaction finishes?
Not just water, you need to make the solution acidic to convert R-O-Mg-Br to R-OH.
Generally it is not wise to add too strong an acid as this can cause a violent reaction. Common Practice is to add saturation Ammonium Chloride carefully (dropwise) untill the evolution of H
2 ceases.
Next you add water to solubilise the resultant inorganic salts, followed by ether.
Now you can separate the two layers, keeping the organic layer. Which layer do you think this will be? Top or bottom?
