PCC: Preparation, Properties, Reactions

PCC

PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate) is an oxidizing agent with the formula [C5H5NH]+[CrO3Cl]. It is a reagent in chemical synthesis that is mostly used to oxidize alcohols to generate carbonyls. Corey and associates first developed pyridinium chlorochromate, which is a stable orange solid … Read more

Meta Directors: Definition, Reactivity, Orientation

Meta directors

Meta directors are deactivating groups on benzene that direct the electrophile E to the meta position. In comparison to hydrogen, deactivating groups slow down the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Substituents that pull electron density away from nearby carbocations (e.g., CF3, … Read more

Imine: Preparation, Properties, Reactions

Imine

Imine is a chemical molecule with a carbon-nitrogen double bond (C=N). They have a C=N link rather than a C=O bond, and are the nitrogen analogs of aldehydes and ketones. So they are compounds with a carbon-nitrogen double bond – … Read more
