The alkyl group is covalently bonded to magnesium; and magnesium-halogen bond is ionic ie. [R:Mg]+[X]–. In the second step of the reaction, it is a displacement reaction in which water (the stronger acid) displacing the weaker acid (R–H) from its salt (RMgX).

OVERVIEW

APPENDIX Halogenation of Alkylbenzenes: Ring vs Side chain Alkylbenzenes clearly offer two main areas to attack by halogens: the ring and the side chain. We can control the position of attack simply by choosing the proper reaction conditions. Halogenation of alkanes requires conditions under which halogen atoms are formed, that is, high temperature or light. Halogenation of benzene, on the other hand, involves transfer of positive halogen, which is promoted by acid catalysts like ferric chloride (FeCl3). heat or light CH4 + Cl2  → CH3Cl + HCl + Cl2

FeCl3 , cold  →

Cl

+ HCl

We might expect, then, that the position of attack in, for example, methylbenzene would be governed by which the attack particle is involved, and therefore by the conditions employed. This is so: if chlorine is bubbled into boiling methylbenzene that is exposed to ultraviolet light, substitution occurs almost exclusively in the side chain; in the absence of light and in the presence of ferric chloride, substitution occurs mostly in the ring.

Markovnikov’s Rule In the ionic addition of an acid to the carbon-carbon double bond of an alkene, the hydrogen of the acid attaches itself to the carbon atom that already holds the greater number of hydrogens. Saytzeff’s Rule For elimination reactions, the preferred product is the alkene with the most alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms i.e. the most substituted product.
