The reduction reactions involve the formation of bonds between organic compounds and hydrogen by removing unsaturated bonds or bonds to other heteroatoms. Some reduction reactions are as follows: Clemmensen reduction Aldehyde or ketone reacts with Zn-Hg in the presence of conc. … Read more
Nucleophilic substitution reactions are a type of reaction in which one nucleophile attacks a positively charged electrophile to replace another nucleophile. This reaction takes place by the attack of the nucleophile on the electron-deficient center of the substrate to form … Read more
Phosphonitrilic compounds (Phosphazene) are compounds containing a P-N backbone with two substituents on each P atom. Phosphazene is a cyclic and acyclic polymer of phosphorous and nitrogen consisting of a -N=P- units containing P and N atoms with two substituents … Read more
Inorganic polymers are polymers whose backbone structure is made up of elements other than carbon. They are polymers with inorganic repeating units in their main polymeric structure. They have distinctive Physico-chemical characteristics and unique physical, mechanical and electrical properties. Their … Read more
Krebs cycle is the most common route for the complete oxidation of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Krebs cycle was discovered by H.A. Kreb, who received the Nobel prize in 1953. The Krebs cycle is also known as the TCA cycle … Read more
Urea is the primary form of waste product of amino groups derived from amino acids. Urea is made up of ammonia, CO2, and aspartate in a cyclic pathway referred to as Urea Cycle. The urea cycle was discovered by Kreb … Read more
Corrosion is an undesirable phenomenon that destroys the luster and beauty of objects and shortens the life of materials. Thus, corrosion is defined as the destructive attack on the surface of metallic materials by chemical or electrochemical reactions with the … Read more
The functional groups are the reactive group present in compounds that determine the chemical properties of these compounds. Eg: -OH, -F, -CHO, -COOH. Types of Functional Groups Hydrocarbons This includes alkane, alkene, alkyne, and benzene derivatives. They are typically denoted … Read more
Glycolysis is an oxidative process that converts one mole of glucose into two moles of pyruvate through a series of enzymatic reactions. It is also known as the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. The pyruvate obtained from the glycolysis process further enters into … Read more
