  2. Schiff test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiff_test

    The mechanism was proposed in 1921 by the eminent German organic chemist Heinrich Wieland and his student Georg Scheuing (1895–1949). [10] [11] Bisulphite was believed to react with the available aromatic amine functional groups to form N-sulfinic acid groups, Ar-NH-SO 2 H, followed by reaction with aldehyde to form sulfonamides, Ar-NH-SO 2 CH

  3. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    The reactivity of a functional group can be modified by other functional groups nearby. Functional group interconversion can be used in retrosynthetic analysis to plan organic synthesis. A functional group is a group of atoms in a molecule with distinctive chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule. The atoms in a ...

  4. Acetoxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoxy_group

    The structure of the acetoxy group blue. In organic chemistry, the acetoxy group (abbr. AcO or OAc; IUPAC name: acetyloxy [1]), is a functional group with the formula −OCOCH 3 and the structure −O−C(=O)−CH 3. As the -oxy suffix implies, it differs from the acetyl group (−C(=O)−CH 3) by the presence of an additional oxygen atom.

  5. Tollens' reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollens'_reagent

    Tollens' test for aldehyde: left side positive (silver mirror), right side negative Ball-and-stick model of the diamminesilver(I) complex. Tollens' reagent (chemical formula ()) is a chemical reagent used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones along with some alpha-hydroxy ketones which can tautomerize into aldehydes.

  6. Aldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde

    Aldehyde structure. In organic chemistry, an aldehyde (/ ˈ æ l d ɪ h aɪ d /) is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure R−CH=O. [1] The functional group itself (without the "R" side chain) can be referred to as an aldehyde but can also be classified as a formyl group.

  7. Isocyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocyanide

    An isocyanide (also called isonitrile or carbylamine) is an organic compound with the functional group – N + ≡C −. It is the isomer of the related nitrile (–C≡N), hence the prefix is isocyano. [1] The organic fragment is connected to the isocyanide group through the nitrogen atom, not via the carbon. They are used as building blocks ...

  8. Organic azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_azide

    The azide functional group can be shown by two resonance structures. An organic azide is an organic compound that contains an azide (– N 3) functional group. [1] Because of the hazards associated with their use, few azides are used commercially although they exhibit interesting reactivity for researchers.

  9. Oxime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxime

    In organic chemistry, an oxime is an organic compound belonging to the imines, with the general formula RR’C=N−OH, where R is an organic side-chain and R' may be hydrogen, forming an aldoxime, or another organic group, forming a ketoxime. O-substituted oximes form a closely related family of compounds.
