  2. Hexane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane

    A typical laboratory use of hexanes is to extract oil and grease contaminants from water and soil for analysis. [9] Since hexane cannot be easily deprotonated, it is used in the laboratory for reactions that involve very strong bases, such as the preparation of organolithiums. For example, butyllithiums are typically supplied as a hexane ...

  3. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    In chemistry, a hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne. This type of reaction is employed industrially to produce ethanol, isopropanol, and butan-2-ol. [1]

  4. 3-Hexyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Hexyne

    3-Hexyne is the organic compound with the formula C 2 H 5 CCC 2 H 5. This colorless liquid is one of three isomeric hexynes. 3-Hexyne forms with 5-decyne, 4-octyne, and 2-butyne a series of symmetric alkynes. It is a reagent in organometallic chemistry. [1] Structure of the coordination complex NbCl 3 (dimethoxyethane)(3-hexyne). [2]

  5. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

  6. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    In chemical reactions the use of polar protic solvents favors the S N 1 reaction mechanism, while polar aprotic solvents favor the S N 2 reaction mechanism. These polar solvents are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water to dissolve in water whereas non-polar solvents are not capable of strong hydrogen bonds.

  7. On-water reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-water_reaction

    [3] [4] The rate acceleration is found in certain Claisen rearrangements. In one typical example of this reaction at room temperature the chemical yield was found to be 100% on water after 120 h compared with 16% for the same reaction in toluene and 73% in the neat reaction. Enhanced reactivity is also found in cycloadditions.

  8. 3-Hexanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Hexanol

    3-Hexanol (IUPAC name: hexan-3-ol; also called ethyl propyl carbinol) is an organic chemical compound. It occurs naturally in the flavor and aroma of plants such as pineapple and is used as a food additive to add flavor.
