  2. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Acyclic aliphatic/non-aromatic compound Cyclic aliphatic/non-aromatic compound (cyclobutane)In organic chemistry, hydrocarbons (compounds composed solely of carbon and hydrogen) are divided into two classes: aromatic compounds and aliphatic compounds (/ ˌ æ l ɪ ˈ f æ t ɪ k /; G. aleiphar, fat, oil).

  3. Amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine

    Amine. In chemistry, amines (/ ə ˈ m iː n, ˈ æ m iː n /, [1] [2] UK also / ˈ eɪ m iː n / [3]) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.Formally, amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH 3), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group [4] (these may respectively be called alkylamines ...

  4. Aromatic amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_amine

    In organic chemistry, an aromatic amine is an organic compound consisting of an aromatic ring attached to an amine. It is a broad class of compounds that encompasses anilines , but also many more complex aromatic rings and many amine substituents beyond NH 2 .

  5. Mass spectral interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectral_interpretation

    Nonetheless, molecular ion peaks are weak in aliphatic amines due to the ease of fragmentation next to amines. Alpha-cleavage reactions are the most important fragmentation mode for amines; for 1° n-aliphatic amines, there is an intense peak at m/z 30. [11] [6] Alpha cleavage of amines. Aromatic amines have intense molecular ion peaks.

  6. Amide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amide

    Compared to amines, amides are very weak bases. While the conjugate acid of an amine has a pK a of about 9.5, the conjugate acid of an amide has a pK a around −0.5. Therefore, compared to amines, amides do not have acid–base properties that are as noticeable in water. This relative lack of basicity is explained by the withdrawing of ...

  7. Amine oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_oxide

    Almost all amine oxides are prepared by the oxidation of either tertiary aliphatic amines or aromatic N-heterocycles. Hydrogen peroxide is the most common reagent both industrially and in academia, however peracids are also important. [6] More specialised oxidising agents can see niche use, for instance Caro's acid or mCPBA. Spontaneous or ...

  8. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings. The simplest representative is naphthalene, having two aromatic rings, and the three-ring compounds anthracene and phenanthrene. PAHs are uncharged, non-polar and planar. Many are colorless.

  9. Electrophilic substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_substitution

    This reaction is similar to nucleophilic aliphatic substitution where the reactant is a nucleophile rather than an electrophile. The four possible electrophilic aliphatic substitution reaction mechanisms are S E 1, S E 2(front), S E 2(back) and S E i (Substitution Electrophilic), which are also similar to the nucleophile counterparts S N 1 and ...
