Grignard workup with water
I know that you normally use a dilute acid solution to protonate the compound formed after the Grignard reaction to obtain the necessary alcohol, but
I'm working with an alkenyl Grignard, and I'm worried that the acid may add to the double bond. Thus, I'm wondering if its feasible to just use water
to protonate the compound, seeing that you'd need significantly higher temperatures to have water react with an alkene.

an aq. solution of ammonium chloride is a typical workup when the product is acid sensitive.
