Chemistry nerds, rejoice! The soccer field has transformed into an organic chemistry reaction! The player in red is sporting the Grignard reagent (RMgCl) while attempting to tackle the player in green who's carrying a ketone or aldehyde (R-C=O-R'). Just like in the lab, this Grignard is aggressively attacking that carbonyl group! The beautiful nucleophilic addition we all know and love from Organic Chem 101, except with more shin guards and significantly more sweating. Wonder if they'll form a tertiary alcohol by the end of the match? The referee might need to check for proper reaction conditions - dry ether and absence of water required!
