Heck Reaction: Mechanism, Applications, Limitations
The Heck reaction is a cross-coupling reaction between an organohalide and an alkene that produces a substituted alkene with palladium as a catalyst and base. It is an effective method … Read more
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that examines the structure, characteristics, and interactions of organic molecules that have covalent bonds with carbon.

The E2 reaction process is a bimolecular elimination mechanism that removes beta-hydrogen and a leaving group from a molecule (substrate) simultaneously to generate a double bond. The removal often occurs … Read more
The Fischer indole synthesis is one of the oldest synthetic processes, and because of its versatility, it is commonly used to prepare substituted indoles. It was invented by Emil Fischer in 1883. … Read more
The Robinson annulation reaction is used to synthesize polycyclic compounds. A reaction that adds a new ring to a molecule is known as an annulation reaction because the word annulation … Read more
Polycarbonate is a highly durable, transparent thermoplastic polymer, containing carbonate groups to connect organic functional groups (-O-(C=O)-O). Polycarbonate, a thermoplastic, may be obtained almost anywhere. It is used in eyewear, medical gadgets, … Read more
Coumarins are one of the most privileged scaffolds, appearing in a wide range of natural goods and bioactive compounds. They have an impressively broad range of applications in medical sciences, … Read more
Polyamides are polymers formed by the condensation polymerization of a carboxylic group and an amino group. Polyamides are polymers that contain repeated amide (-CO-NH-) connections. Proteins are naturally occurring polyamides. … Read more
The differences between polyamide and nylon are due to unique properties within the larger category of synthetic polymers. Their shared amide connections provide remarkable mechanical qualities, making them useful for … Read more
The Maillard reaction is named after the French scientist and chemist Louis Camille Maillard (1878-1936), who first described it. It is often referred to as a nonenzymatic browning reaction. When … Read more
