  2. Benzyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_chloride

    Indicative of its high reactivity (relative to alkyl chlorides), benzyl chloride slowly reacts with water in a hydrolysis reaction to form benzyl alcohol and hydrochloric acid. In contact with mucous membranes, hydrolysis produces hydrochloric acid. Thus, benzyl chloride is a lachrymator and has been used in chemical warfare. It is also very ...

  3. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    In deoxygenation, the alcohol group can be further reduced and removed altogether by replacement with H. Two broad strategies exist for carbonyl reduction. One method, which is favored in industry, uses hydrogen as the reductant. This approach is called hydrogenation and requires metal catalysts.

  4. Benzylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzylamine

    Benzylamine is used as a masked source of ammonia, since after N-alkylation, the benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenolysis: [10] C 6 H 5 CH 2 NH 2 + 2 RBr → C 6 H 5 CH 2 NR 2 + 2 HBr C 6 H 5 CH 2 NR 2 + H 2 → C 6 H 5 CH 3 + R 2 NH. Typically a base is employed in the first step to absorb the HBr (or related acid for other kinds of ...

  5. Phenethylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenethylamine

    One method for preparing β-phenethylamine, set forth in J. C. Robinson and H. R. Snyder's Organic Syntheses (published 1955), involves the reduction of benzyl cyanide with hydrogen in liquid ammonia, in the presence of a Raney-Nickel catalyst, at a temperature of 130 °C and a pressure of 13.8 MPa. Alternative syntheses are outlined in the ...

  6. Leuckart reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuckart_reaction

    The Leuckart reaction is the chemical reaction that converts aldehydes or ketones to amines. The reaction is an example of reductive amination. [1] The reaction, named after Rudolf Leuckart, uses either ammonium formate or formamide as the nitrogen donor and reducing agent. It requires high temperatures, usually between 120 and 130 °C; for the ...

  7. Phenylethanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylethanolamine

    Chemically, phenyethanolamine is an aromatic compound, an amine, and an alcohol. The amino-group makes this compound a weak base , capable of reacting with acids to form salts. Two common salts of phenylethanolamine are the hydrochloride, C 8 H 11 NO.HCl, m.p. 212 °C, [ 6 ] and the sulfate, (C 8 H 11 NO) 2 .H 2 SO 4 , m.p. 239–240 °C.

  9. Danishefsky Taxol total synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danishefsky_Taxol_total...

    Alcohol 12 was protected by a benzyl group. The acetonide protecting group was removed from the ketone. Ketone 14 was converted to silyl enol ether 15 by reaction with trimethylsilyl triflate, and a modified Rubottom oxidation using 3,3-dimethyldioxirane followed by a treatment with camphorsulfonic acid introduced a hydroxyl group alpha to the ...
