Darzens reaction is a condensation reaction that involves the reaction of ketone or aldehyde with an α-haloester in the presence of a base to form an α,β-epoxy ester i.e., glycidic ester. It is commonly known as Darzens condensation or glycidic … Read more

 Haloform reaction involves an exhaustive halogenation of a methyl ketone (RCOCH3) in the presence of a base to give a haloform (CHX3).  Where R can be either a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, or an aryl group, and X is a … Read more

Favorskii rearrangement involves the conversion of cyclopropanones or α -halo ketones to carboxylic acids or their derivatives in presence of the base. Acidic “‘ α -hydrogens” must be present in the halo ketones. This reaction is named after the Russian … Read more

 Finkelstein reaction is an organic process in which an alkyl halide reacts with a metal halide salt to form another alkyl halide. This reaction’s name is given after the German chemist Hans Finkelstein. It is a nucleophilic bimolecular substitution reaction in which … Read more

Grignard reaction describes the addition of alkyl magnesium halides to the carbonyl group of aldehyde or ketone. This reaction is one of the most significant process for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. In this reaction process alkyl, vinyl, or aryl … Read more

Balz–Schiemann reaction involves the transformation of a primary aromatic amine into an aryl fluoride via a diazonium tetrafluoroborate intermediate. The process is comparable to the Sandmeyer reaction, which also produces aryl halides from diazonium salts. In this process, arylamines are … Read more

Etard reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the direct oxidation of an aromatic or heterocyclic bound methyl group to an aldehyde using chromyl chloride. It is named after French Scientist Alexandre Leon Etard. In this reaction, chromyl chloride serves … Read more
