An active metal is a metal that displaces hydrogen from an acid. Examples of active metals include magnesium, zinc and iron. This type of reaction is also called a single displacement reaction where the active metal 'displaces' the hydrogen from the acid. Examples of reactions involving acids and active metals. 1  Hydrochloric acid + Magnesium â Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen.
The Grignard reaction (pronounced /É¡riÉ²ar/) is an organometallic chemical reaction in which alkyl-or aryl-magnesium halides (Grignard reagents) attack electrophilic carbon atoms that are present within polar bonds (for example, in a carbonyl group as in the example shown below).Grignard reagents act as nucleophiles.tmospheric humidity can alter the yield of making a Grignard reagent from magnesium turnings and an alkyl halide. One of many methods used to exclude water from the reaction atmosphere is to flame-dry the reaction vessel to evaporate all moisture, which is then sealed to prevent moisture from returning.
