A method of measuring the concentration of these compounds is titrating with 1,10-phenanthroline. Reacting one of these compounds with triethyl orthoformate is the first step of the Bodroux-Chichibabin synthesis. Adding these compounds to a nitrile forms an imine, which then can be hydrolyzed into a ketone. These compounds give both 1,4- and 1,2-addition to alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyls, necessitating the use of (*) Gilman reagents or alkyllithium reagents. Two equivalents of these compounds are required to add to an ester, and depending on the application they can be stored in either THF or diethyl ether. More commonly one equivalent are used to form a new carbon-carbon bond with a carbonyl carbon and leave an alcohol. For 10 points, name these magnesium halide containing reagents named for a French chemist.
