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
Fischer Esterification Reaction involves the reaction between an alcohol and carboxylic acid to form an ester. Emil Fischer and Arthur Speier initially explained the reaction process in 1895. Fischer esterification is a type of nucleophilic substitution process. It’s also known as … Read more
Reductive amination is the process of conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine through an imine ion intermediate. It is a chemical reaction that converts aldehyde and ketones into 1°, 2° and 3° amine. It is an excellent method … Read more
