  2. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula C H 3 OH (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

  3. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    In most dipolar compounds the charges are delocalized. [1] Unlike salts, dipolar compounds have charges on separate atoms, not on positive and negative ions that make up the compound. Dipolar compounds exhibit a dipole moment. Dipolar compounds can be represented by a resonance structure.

  4. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Note that the dipole moments drawn in this diagram represent the shift of the valence electrons as the origin of the charge, which is opposite the direction of the actual electric dipole moment. The bond dipole moment [5] uses the idea of electric dipole moment to measure the polarity of a chemical bond within a molecule. It occurs whenever ...

  5. Citric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid

    Citric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid and is an active ingredient in chemical skin peels. [36] Citric acid is commonly used as a buffer to increase the solubility of brown heroin. [37] Citric acid is used as one of the active ingredients in the production of facial tissues with antiviral properties. [38]

  6. Dimethylacetamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylacetamide

    The chemical reactions of dimethylacetamide are typical of N,N-disubstituted amides. Hydrolysis of the acyl-N bond occurs in the presence of acids: CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2 + H 2 O + HCl → CH 3 COOH + (CH 3) 2 NH 2 + Cl −. However, it is resistant to bases. For this reason DMA is a useful solvent for reactions involving strong bases such as sodium ...

  7. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  8. Formic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid

    Formic acid (from Latin formica 'ant'), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C(=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. Esters, salts and the anion derived from formic acid are called ...
