In fact, magnesium methyl chloride is a special case of Grignard reagents; it is stable in anhydrous non-polar solvents but very unstable in aqueous solutions, as it decomposes when some hydrochloric acid is added to it. Actually, it will also decompose if diluted with water in the absence of an ignition source.
