Grignard, Nobel prize

The Grignard reaction, reported in 1900 by Victor Grignard (Nobel Prize, 1912), provides the synthetic chemist with one of the most powerful tools for connecting carbon moieties. 

Name of the One-step Procedure. Early publications in this new field of organic chemistry reveal a bitter rivalry over priority and eponimy between the stu-dent/assistant Grignard (Nobel-prize winner 1912) and the teacher/head-of-the-department Barbier. Several modern historians have come to the conclusion [29] that the most reasonable name for this step-wise procedure would have been Barbier-Grignard reaction. 

The preparation of the bromobenzodioxole or bromobenzene is going to be the same no matter which one is used and no matter which precursor the chemist wishes to make. This means that this first part needs to be done correctly. This first part of preparation that Strike is talking about is the creation of a Grignard reagent out of the bromo compound starting material [125,131-134]. Mr. Grignard earned a Nobel prize for this in 1912 so you can bet that it s a pretty good procedure. 

As a consequence, the general nature of this sequence can be used to prepare an extraordinary variety of new compounds. For this Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 at the age of 39. 

First paper by V, Grignard (aged 29) on RMgX syntheses, Nobel Prize 1912. 

Grignard received the Nobel Prize in 1912 and organomagnesium halides are now called Grignard reagents. 

Grignard, in developing such a reaction, practically doubled the possibilities of synthetic organic chemistry and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, in 1912. 

Barbier, P. C. R. Hebd. Seances Acad. Sci. 1899, 128, 110. Phillippe Barbier (1848—1922) was bom in Luzy, Nievre, France. He studied terpenoids using zinc and magnesium. Barbier suggested the use of magnesium to his student, Victor Grignard, who later discovered the Grignard reagent and won the Nobel Prize in 1912. 

Grignard, Victor (1871—1935). French chemist, receipient (with Paul Sabatier) of Nobel Prize in chemistry (1912). Discovered organo-maguesium compds used for organic synthesis (See Griguard s Reaction and Reagent)... 

SABATIER, PAUL (1854-1941). A French chemist who received the Nobel prize in Chemistry in 1912 along with Victor Grignard. His work involved the behavior of oxides as oxidizing catalysts and as agents for dehydrating and dehydrogenating. He received his PhD. In Nimes, France, and went on to become lecturer and faculty member in Toulouse, France. 

Victor Grignard (1871-1935) of the University of Lyon was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1912 for his discovery of these reagents. 

Another feature of the Nobel Prize in chemistry lies in its award on occasion, not to the original discoverer, but to a student or colleague who develops the discovery and makes known its scope and utility. The 1912 award in chemistry was divided one half went to V. Grignard (1871-1935) at Nancy for the discovery of the Grignard reagent, and the other... 

In 1912 Victor Grignard received the Nobel prize in chemistry for his work on the reaction that bears his name, a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction by which almost any alcohol may be formed from appropriate alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds. The Grignard reagent is easily formed by reaction of an alkyl halide, in particular a bromide, with magnesium metal in anhydrous ether. Although the reaction can be written and thought of as simply...
