Francois Auguste Victor Grignard (1871-1935) was a French chemist who discovered the organomagnesium compounds that came to bear his name, the Grignard reagents, and the Grignard reaction they enable for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. He shared the 1912 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Paul Sabatier, and his reagents remain a foundational tool of synthetic organic chemistry.
