Grignard reagents are produced by the reaction of alkyl and aryl bromides and chlorides with metallic magnesium. These products are pyrophoric and will react violently with water or air (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 334-336).
Halocarbons, including aryl halides, can react exothermically and sometimes explosively with aluminum. Reactions may evolve toxic HCl gas (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 27-29).
