  2. 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.

  3. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    The alkoxide ion is a strong base so the proton is transferred from the carboxylic acid to the alkoxide ion, creating an alcohol: saponification part III. In a classic laboratory procedure, the triglyceride trimyristin is obtained by extracting it from nutmeg with diethyl ether. Saponification to the soap sodium myristate takes place using NaOH ...

  4. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

    Ethylene oxide enters into the Friedel–Crafts reaction with benzene to form phenethyl alcohol: Styrene can be obtained in one stage if this reaction is conducted at elevated temperatures (315–440 °C (599–824 °F)) and pressures (0.35–0.7 MPa (51–102 psi)), in presence of an aluminosilicate catalyst.

  6. Phenethyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenethyl_alcohol

    Phenethyl alcohol is prepared commercially via two routes. Most common is the Friedel-Crafts reaction between benzene and ethylene oxide in the presence of aluminium trichloride. C 6 H 6 + CH 2 CH 2 O + AlCl 3 → C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 OAlCl 2 + HCl. The reaction affords the aluminium alkoxide that is subsequently hydrolyzed to the desired product.

  7. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    The reactions of ethane involve chiefly free radical reactions. Ethane can react with the halogens, especially chlorine and bromine, by free-radical halogenation. This reaction proceeds through the propagation of the ethyl radical: [36] Cl 2 → 2 Cl• C 2 H 6 • + Cl• → C 2 H 5 • + HCl C 2 H 5 • + Cl 2 → C 2 H 5 Cl + Cl•

  8. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.

  9. Henry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_reaction

    The Henry reaction is a classic carbon–carbon bond formation reaction in organic chemistry. Discovered in 1895 by the Belgian chemist Louis Henry (1834–1913), it is the combination of a nitroalkane and an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of a base to form β-nitro alcohols.
