定义Definition
格氏反应是有机镁卤化物(格氏试剂 RMgX)作为碳亲核试剂,加成到醛、酮、酯、CO₂、环氧化物等亲电试剂上形成新 C–C 键的反应,水解后得到醇或羧酸。
The Grignard reaction uses organomagnesium halides (Grignard reagents, RMgX) as carbon nucleophiles that add to aldehydes, ketones, esters, CO₂, epoxides and other electrophiles to form new C–C bonds; aqueous work-up gives alcohols or carboxylic acids.
试剂制备Preparing the reagent
卤代烃与镁屑在无水乙醚或 THF 中反应生成 RMgX,常加碘或 1,2-二溴乙烷引发。醚的氧与镁配位稳定试剂(溶液中存在施伦克平衡 2RMgX ⇌ R₂Mg + MgX₂)。必须严格无水、无质子溶剂:水、醇、羧酸会立即把它质子化为 R–H。
An alkyl or aryl halide reacts with magnesium turnings in dry ether or THF, often initiated with iodine or 1,2-dibromoethane. Ether oxygens coordinate and stabilise Mg (the Schlenk equilibrium 2RMgX ⇌ R₂Mg + MgX₂). Strictly anhydrous, aprotic conditions are essential: water, alcohols and acids protonate it to R–H at once.
产物规律Product patterns
甲醛 → 伯醇;其他醛 → 仲醇;酮 → 叔醇;酯与两分子试剂反应 → 叔醇;CO₂ → 羧酸;环氧乙烷 → 增加两个碳的伯醇;腈 → 酮(水解亚胺后)。
Formaldehyde → primary alcohols; other aldehydes → secondary; ketones → tertiary; esters consume two equivalents → tertiary alcohols; CO₂ → carboxylic acids; ethylene oxide → primary alcohols two carbons longer; nitriles → ketones after hydrolysis.
由来Origin
法国化学家维克多·格利雅在导师巴比耶工作基础上于 1900 年发现,1912 年因此获诺贝尔化学奖。它是最早、最常用的碳–碳键形成方法之一。
Discovered in 1900 by the French chemist Victor Grignard, building on his mentor Barbier’s work; he received the 1912 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It remains one of the most used C–C bond-forming methods.
