  2. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    For example, protonation of methanol gives an electrophilic methylating reagent that reacts by the S N 2 pathway: CH 3 OH + H + → [CH 3 OH 2] + Similarly, methyl iodide and methyl triflate are viewed as the equivalent of the methyl cation because they readily undergo S N 2 reactions by weak nucleophiles. The methyl cation has been detected in ...

  3. Carbon–hydrogen bond activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond...

    Other mechanistic possibilities not involving direct C–H bond cleavage by the metal include (i) generation of arylmetal species by electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism (common for electrophilic Pd, Pt, Au, Hg species), (ii) cleavage of the C–H bond via hydrogen atom abstraction by an O- or N-centered radical, which may then go on ...

  4. Coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_reaction

    The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Richard F. Heck , Ei-ichi Negishi , and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions .

    Examples include ((CH 3) 3 CCH 2)Ta=CHC(CH 3) 3 [9] and Os(PPh 3) 2 (NO)Cl(=CH 2). [10] Orbital interaction in the bonding of a Schrock carbene. Both the metal and carbon provide 2 unpaired electron each, forming the double bond. Bonding in such complexes can be viewed as the coupling of a triplet state metal and triplet carbene, forming a true ...

  6. Haloform reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloform_reaction

    In chemistry, the haloform reaction (also referred to as the Lieben haloform reaction) is a chemical reaction in which a haloform (CHX 3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of an acetyl group (R−C(=O)CH 3, where R can be either a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or an aryl group), in the presence of a base.

  7. Mannich reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannich_reaction

    In organic chemistry, the Mannich reaction is a three-component organic reaction that involves the amino alkylation of an acidic proton next to a carbonyl (C=O) functional group by formaldehyde (H−CHO) and a primary or secondary amine (−NH 2) or ammonia (NH 3). [1]

  8. McMurry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurry_reaction

    This reductive coupling can be viewed as involving two steps. First is the formation of a pinacolate (1,2- diolate ) complex, a step which is equivalent to the pinacol coupling reaction . The second step is the deoxygenation of the pinacolate, which yields the alkene , this second step exploits the oxophilicity of titanium.

  9. Radical disproportionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_disproportionation

    When the hydrogen atoms in an alkyl radical are displaced with deuterium, disproportionation proceeds at a slightly slower rate whereas the rate of recombination remains the same. Thus disproportionation is weakly affected by the kinetic isotope effect with k H /k D = 1.20 ± 0.15 for ethylene. [ 7 ]
