Explanation:
Grignard reagents feature a highly nucleophilic carbon centre, almost a carbanion,
This will react with almost any electrophile, including the proton of water.
Thus:
If you wanted to label an alkane with deuterium, this would be a good way to go about it, by using deuterium oxide,
So here you have the
