Organozinc species in THF react slowly with air but do not catch fire ("slow absorption"):

I assume that acetonitrile organozinc reagents behave similarly. So the answer is yes an inert atmosphere is certainly required for the Blaise
reaction which happens additionally at high temperature.

I'm surprised grignards are stable in acetonitrile. I had thought that it was possible to deprotonate it.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

I imagine that the reaction between vanillyl magnesium chloride and acetonitrile followed by acid hydrolysis produces a nice-smelling ketone.
Edit: Oh never mind, that won't work.

Hydrogenation of Acetonitrile, could be one of the better ways to make Di-Ethyl Amine.

Since when are Grignards stable in acetonitrile?
