This chapter explores the equilibrium of Grignard reagents, focusing on the stability of sp² carbanions, Metal-halogen exchange reactions, and their applications in various organic transformations. It discusses the reduction of sulfides through dimethylaminonaphthalene (LDMAN) and highlights the Shapiro reaction involving vinyllithium compounds. Further, the scope of reactions with alkylating agents, radical involvement, hydrogen abstraction, and ring closure using Allyllithium and benzyllithium reagents are analyzed. The chapter concludes with insights into competitive reactions like Meerwein-Pondorff-Verley reduction and processes involving Lewis acid-directed ortho-lithiation.
