Wittig reaction facilitates the formation of an alkene by reacting an aldehyde or ketone with the ylide produced by a phosphonium salt. The reactivity of the ylide affects the geometry of the resultant alkene. Georg Wittig invented the Wittig reaction in … Read more
Friedel-Crafts reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. This well-known reaction was invented by two scientists, French Charles Friedel and American James Crafts. In the Friedel-Crafts reaction, the aromatic molecule undergoes an electrophilic substitution. In this reaction process, electrophile replaces the hydrogen … Read more
Spectroscopic techniques use light to interact with matter, probing certain aspects of a sample to learn about its consistency or structure. Light is electromagnetic radiation, a phenomenon with varying energies that can be used to examine various molecular properties. The … Read more
The Diels-Alder reaction is a pericyclic reaction between a conjugated diene (two double bonds) and a dienophile. This type of substituted alkene is known as a dienophile. This process produces a cyclohexene-substituted derivative. The Diels-Alder reaction is an incredibly powerful reaction commonly … Read more
The Perkin condensation reaction, also known as the Perkin reaction, is an organic reaction used to produce, unsaturated aromatic acid via condensation of an aromatic aldehyde and an acid anhydride in the presence of an alkali salt of the acid … Read more
The Reimer- Tiemann reaction, named after scientists Karl Reimer and Ferdinand Tiemann, is a type of substitution reaction. The reaction is utilized for the ortho-formylation of C6H5OH (phenols). One of the most basic instances of this reaction is the transformation … Read more
The Rosenmund reaction is a hydrogenation reaction that converts an acyl chloride to an aldehyde. To make an aldehyde from acyl chloride, the Rosenmund reduction procedure is employed. This hydrogenation procedure converts an acyl chloride to an aldehyde selectively. The reaction … Read more
The Claisen condensation reaction involves the formation of a β-keto ester by the reaction of two molecules of esters with an α-hydrogen atom with a strong base like sodium ethoxide. Water is produced as a byproduct of the condensation reaction. A … Read more
Cannizzaro reaction is a chemical process in which an aldehyde without a hydrogen atom in the alpha position undergoes base-induced disproportionation. Cannizzaro Reaction occurs when one molecule of aldehyde is reduced to the corresponding alcohol and another is oxidized to … Read more
