Inhibitors, in very low concentration, inhibit the reaction between 1-bromo-3-methylbutane and magnesium obtained by vaporization of metal.For such a magnesium derivative, the inhibitors cannot play the role of "killers" for active sites.A chain reaction for the formation of the Grignard reagent is proposed.
