N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a useful organic chemistry reagent. NBS has traditionally been thought of as a convenient supply of either cationic bromine for electrophilic addition processes or a bromine radical for radical substitution. N-bromosuccinimide is a useful bromine source for … Read more
Smelting is the method of extracting a metal, either as an element or as a simple compound, from its ore by heating it above its melting point, usually in the presence of oxidizing agents such as air or reducing agents … Read more
The dipole moment is a quantity that describes the separation of two opposite charges. It is a quantity that can be measured in the lab for a molecule and used to calculate the size of the partial charges on the … Read more
The Benzoin Condensation is a coupling reaction between two aldehydes that produces α-hydroxyketones. Only aromatic aldehydes could be converted using the initial procedures. The condensation of two molecules of benzaldehyde to generate benzoin in the presence of a cyanide catalyst … Read more
Knoevenagel condensation is the nucleophilic addition of an active hydrogen compound to a carbonyl group, followed by a dehydration process that eliminates a molecule of water. The result is frequently an alpha, beta conjugated compound. The Knoevenagel process is a … Read more
The diagonal relationship refers to the resemblance in qualities observed between two elements arranged diagonally from left to right in two adjacent periods and two adjacent groups in the periodic table. The diagonal relationship is particularly noticeable among the lighter members … Read more
Coumarin is a naturally occurring substance belonging to the benzopyrone family. It is also known as 1-benzopyran-2-one. Vogel identified the first parent coumarin from tonka bean (Dipteryx odorata) in 1820. The name coumarin is derived from the French word “Coumarou” for … Read more
Diazotization reaction is the reaction that produces diazonium ions from aromatic amines. The process of creating a diazonium salt or diazonium compound is known as diazotization. An aromatic amine combines with a reagent having a nitrosyl cation (NO) or a … Read more
The Sandmeyer reaction is a form of radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution process. It’s a valuable tool for replacing an amino group on an aromatic ring with alternative substituents. This reaction converts an aromatic amino group (NH2) into a very effective leaving … Read more
