ketone formation by grignard reaction

Ketone formation by Grignard reaction refers to the process of creating ketones by reacting Grignard reagents with suitable carbonyl compounds, primarily aldehydes or ketones. This reaction involves the addition of a Grignard reagent (organomagnesium compound) to the carbonyl group, resulting in the substitution of the oxygen atom with a carbon chain. The outcome is the formation of a ketone, a class of organic compounds characterized by a carbonyl group bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups.
