Hydroboration-oxidation reaction is two-step chemical reaction process, in which an alkene is transformed into alcohol.The addition of borane to the carbon-carbon double bond by the action of diborane to form alkyl borane is known as hydroboration. Further oxidation of alkyl … Read more
Oppenauer oxidation is a chemoselective oxidation reaction that involves the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones in presence of aluminium tertiary butoxide in benzene or toluene solution. The reaction, which is named after Rupert Viktor Oppenauer, is one of the … Read more
Wurtz-Fittig reaction is a chemical reaction that produces substituted aromatic compounds by coupling aryl halides with alkyl halides in presence of sodium metal, and dry ether. The Wurtz reaction, in which two alkyl halides are coupled to form a new carbon-carbon bond, … Read more
Wurtz reaction is very helpful in the fields of organic and organometallic chemistry for the formation of higher alkanes. Charles-Adolphe introduces the Wurtz reaction, in which a new carbon-carbon bond is created by coupling two alkyl halide molecules together in … Read more
Clemmensen reduction involves the reduction of aldehyde or ketone into alkane. Aldehyde or ketone reacts with Zn-Hg in the presence of conc. hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding hydrocarbon. This reaction is known as Clemmensen reduction. In this reaction, acid … Read more
A colloid is a heterogenous mixture in which particle size ranges between 1 and 100 nm. The colloidal state consists of two phases: a dispersed phase and a dispersion phase. Dispersed phase: The substance is distributed as colloidal particles. Dispersed … Read more
Nuclear reaction Nuclear reactions are the process in which two atomic nuclei or one atomic nucleus and a subatomic particle (such as a proton or neutron or high energy electron) collide to form one or more nuclides different from parent … Read more
Oxidation reactions are those in which atoms, molecules, or ions lose electrons, increasing the oxidation state. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation It involves the oxidation of aliphatic ketones to esters or their hydrolyzed products using hydrogen peroxide or organic peracids as oxidizing agents. Baeyer … Read more
Purines are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing two fused rings. They are the most common nitrogen-containing heterocycles in nature. Purine is also present in significant amounts in red meat, beef, pig, dry peas, beans, lentils, and oats. The purine ring is … Read more
