  2. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

  3. Phenylacetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylacetone

    Phenylacetone, also known as phenyl-2-propanone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 COCH 3. It is a colorless oil that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of an acetone attached to a phenyl group. As such, its systematic IUPAC name is 1-phenyl-2-propanone.

  4. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    [2] Through a variety of mechanisms, the removal of a hydride equivalent converts a primary or secondary alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone, respectively. The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate ( gem -diol, R-CH(OH) 2 ) by reaction with ...

  5. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

  6. Propionaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propionaldehyde

    Rising demand for non-chlorocarbon solvents has caused some manufacturers to substitutively brominate n‑propanol to propyl bromide. However, the majority of applications use n‑propanol proper in esters or glycol ethers, or as a gentle alkylant for primary and secondary amines. [2]: 5

  7. Isopropyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol

    Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable, organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. [9]Isopropyl alcohol, an organic polar molecule, is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, demonstrating its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, oils, alkaloids, and natural ...

  8. Transfer hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_hydrogenation

    It uses hydrogen donor compounds such as formic acid, isopropanol or dihydroanthracene, dehydrogenating them to CO 2, acetone, or anthracene respectively. [1] Often, the donor molecules also function as solvents for the reaction. A large scale application of transfer hydrogenation is coal liquefaction using "donor solvents" such as tetralin. [2 ...

  9. Isobutanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutanol

    Isobutanol (IUPAC nomenclature: 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 OH (sometimes represented as i-BuOH). This colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell is mainly used as a solvent either directly or as its esters.
