Abstract

Grignard reagents have been known for more than a hundred years as tools to create new carbon-carbon bonds. The preparation of Grignard reagents and their reactions with carbonyl compounds (Grignard reaction) under ultrasound irradiation are discussed in this chapter. While ultrasound has proven to be efficient for the activation of magnesium surface and facilitation of the preparation of Grignard reagents, benefits of sonication in the Grignard reaction remain unclear and the outcome strongly depends on the substrate structure. The specific parameters of ultrasound irradiation also appear to play an important role in the synthesis and subsequent reactions of Grignard reagents.
