Also used to produce alcohols from carbonyls, FTP, identify these organometallic compounds produced from a haloalkane and magnesium.
They are most commonly made in completely dry conditions in which the necessary ingredients are added in a flask containing diethyl ether, and the flask is fitted with a reflux condenser and heated over a warm water bath.  They produce an inorganic "basic bromide" when reacted with water and, in a two-step process, result in carboxylic acids when reacted with carbon dioxide.
