What reactions do you know that involve solid magnesium? Do any of these also involve halogens?

 

[chemlove]

no halogens

but this reminds me of grignard reactions

 

[Borek]

No halogens in Grignard reaction?

What is a Grignard reagent?

 

[chemlove]

not sure, I just guessed.

 

[chemlove]

Reaction of magnesium with the halogens
This initially has chloride in it so first it would attach Mgcl to it then Me3sn
is that correct?T
