  2. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    Functional groups binding to a central atom in a coordination complex are called ligands. Complexation and solvation are also caused by specific interactions of functional groups. In the common rule of thumb "like dissolves like", it is the shared or mutually well-interacting functional groups which give rise to solubility.

  3. Diol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

    A common diol reaction to produce a cyclic ether. 1,2-diols and 1,3-diols can be protected using a protecting group. [13] Protecting groups are used so that the functional group does not react to future reactions. Benzylidene groups are used to protect 1,3-diols. [13]

  5. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    The common natural forms of amino acids have a zwitterionic structure, with −NH + 3 (−NH + 2 − in the case of proline) and −CO − 2 functional groups attached to the same C atom, and are thus α-amino acids, and are the only ones found in proteins during translation in the ribosome.

  6. Glutaraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutaraldehyde

    Glutaraldehyde is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 3 (CHO) 2.The molecule consists of a five carbon chain doubly terminated with formyl (CHO) groups. It is usually used as a solution in water, and such solutions exists as a collection of hydrates, cyclic derivatives, and condensation products, several of which interconvert.

  7. Perfluorinated compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorinated_compound

    Many perfluorinated compounds have properties that are quite different from their C-H containing analogues. Common functional groups in PFCs are OH, CO 2 H, chlorine, O, and SO 3 H. Electrofluorination is the predominant method for PFC production. Due to their chemical stability, some of these perfluorinated compounds bioaccumulate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organosilicon_chemistry

    Other unsaturated functional groups — alkynes, imines, ketones, and aldehydes — also participate, but these reactions are of little economic value. [19] Idealized mechanism for metal-catalysed hydrosilylation of an alkene. Hydrosilylation requires metal catalysts, especially those based on platinum group metals.

  9. Phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenols

    In organic chemistry, phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are a class of chemical compounds consisting of one or more hydroxyl groups (−O H) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. [1] The simplest is phenol, C 6 H 5 OH. Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the ...
