  2. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    The hydroxide anion adds to the carbonyl group of the ester. The immediate product is called an orthoester. Saponification part I. Expulsion of the alkoxide generates a carboxylic acid: Saponification part II. The alkoxide ion is a strong base so the proton is transferred from the carboxylic acid to the alkoxide ion, creating an alcohol:

  3. Carbonylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonylation

    Dimethyl carbonate and dimethyl oxalate are produced industrially using carbon monoxide and an oxidant, in effect as a source of CO 2+. [2]+ + + The oxidative carbonylation of methanol is catalyzed by copper(I) salts, which form transient carbonyl complexes.

  4. Koch reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_reaction

    The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes and carbon monoxide.Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid, 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid. [1]

  5. Metal carbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_carbonyl

    A familiar example is the sodium salt of iron tetracarbonylate (Na 2 Fe(CO) 4, Collman's reagent), which is used in organic synthesis. [47] The cationic hexacarbonyl salts of manganese, technetium and rhenium can be prepared from the carbonyl halides under carbon monoxide pressure by reaction with a Lewis acid. Mn(CO) 5 Cl + AlCl 3 + CO → [Mn ...

  6. Mond process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mond_process

    The Mond process, sometimes known as the carbonyl process, is a technique created by Ludwig Mond in 1890, [1] to extract and purify nickel. The process was used commercially before the end of the 19th century, [ 2 ] and particularly by the International Nickel Company in the Sudbury Basin . [ 3 ]

  7. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    The structure of the molecule of urea is O=C(−NH 2) 2.The urea molecule is planar when in a solid crystal because of sp 2 hybridization of the N orbitals. [8] [9] It is non-planar with C 2 symmetry when in the gas phase [10] or in aqueous solution, [9] with C–N–H and H–N–H bond angles that are intermediate between the trigonal planar angle of 120° and the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.

  8. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    Converting a carboxylic acid to an amide is possible, but not straightforward. Instead of acting as a nucleophile, an amine will react as a base in the presence of a carboxylic acid to give the ammonium carboxylate salt. Heating the salt to above 100 °C will drive off water and lead to the formation of the amide.

  9. Carboxylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylate

    Carboxylic acid salts with a hydrogen atom in the alpha position next to the carboxylate group can be converted to dianions with strong bases like lithium diisopropylamide. These react with alkyl halides to give derivatives: [1]: 474 RCH 2 COO − + Li + [− N(CH(CH 3) 2) 2] → RCH − COO − RCH − COO − + R'X → RR'CHCOO − + X −
