  2. Eschweiler–Clarke reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschweiler–Clarke_reaction

    The reaction is generally performed in an aqueous solution at close to boiling. The first methylation of the amine begins with imine formation with formaldehyde. The formic acid acts as a source of hydride and reduces the imine to a secondary amine. Loss of carbon dioxide gas renders the reaction irreversible. Despite being more hindered, the ...

  3. Sodium fusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fusion_test

    The halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur are covalently bonded to the organic compounds are converted to various sodium salts formed during the fusion. Typically proposed reactions are: Na + C + N → NaCN Na + C + N + S → NaSCN 2Na + S → Na 2 S Na + X → NaX. The fate of the hydrocarbon portion of the sample is disregarded.

  4. Mannich reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannich_reaction

    Reactions between aldimines and α-methylene carbonyls are also considered Mannich reactions because these imines form between amines and aldehydes. The reaction is named after Carl Mannich. [2] [3] Scheme 1 – Ammonia or an amine reacts with formaldehyde and an alpha acidic proton of a carbonyl compound to a beta amino carbonyl compound.

  5. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Formaldehyde is readily oxidized by atmospheric oxygen into formic acid. For this reason, commercial formaldehyde is typically contaminated with formic acid. Formaldehyde can be hydrogenated into methanol. In the Cannizzaro reaction, formaldehyde and base react to produce formic acid and methanol, a disproportionation reaction.

  6. Knoevenagel condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoevenagel_condensation

    Z must be powerful enough to facilitate deprotonation to the enolate ion even with a mild base. Using a strong base in this reaction would induce self-condensation of the aldehyde or ketone. The Hantzsch pyridine synthesis, the Gewald reaction and the Feist–Benary furan synthesis all contain a Knoevenagel

  7. Formylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formylation

    The direct reaction between phenol and paraformaldehyde is possible via the Casiraghi formylation, [4] but other methods apply masked forms of formaldehyde, in part to limit the formation of phenol formaldehyde resins. Aldehydes are strongly deactivating and as such phenols typically only react once.

  8. Blanc chloromethylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanc_chloromethylation

    The Blanc chloromethylation (also called the Blanc reaction) is the chemical reaction of aromatic rings with formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride to form chloromethyl arenes. The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids such as zinc chloride. [1] The reaction was discovered by Gustave Louis Blanc (1872-1927) in 1923. [2] [3] Blanc chloromethylation

  9. Kjeldahl method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjeldahl_method

    NaOH reacts the ammonium (NH 4 +) to ammonia (NH 3), which boils off the sample solution. Ammonia bubbles through the standard acid solution and reacts back to ammonium salts with the weak or strong acid. [3] Ammonium ion concentration in the acid solution, and thus the amount of nitrogen in the sample, is measured via titration.
