  2. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_construction

    Every introductory thermodynamics text [15] [16] presents the fact that on such a plane the area under any curve is the heat transfer to the substance per mole, positive going from left to right and negative from right to left; moreover, in a cyclic process the net heat transfer to the substance is the area enclosed by the cycle's closed curve.

  3. Protecting group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_group

    Cyclic acetals are very much more stable against acid hydrolysis than acyclic acetals. Consequently acyclic acetals are used practically only when a very mild cleavage is required or when two different protected carbonyl groups must be differentiated in their liberation.

  4. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    A PV diagram plots the change in pressure P with respect to volume V for some process or processes. Typically in thermodynamics, the set of processes forms a cycle, so that upon completion of the cycle there has been no net change in state of the system; i.e. the device returns to the starting pressure and volume.

  5. Anomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomer

    However, in order for anomers to exist, the sugar must be in its cyclic form, since in open-chain form, the anomeric carbon atom is planar and thus achiral. More formally stated, then, an anomer is an epimer at the hemiacetal/hemiketal carbon atom in a cyclic saccharide. [1] Anomerization is the process of conversion of one anomer to the other.

  6. Silyl enol ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silyl_enol_ether

    The general structure of a silyl enol ether. In organosilicon chemistry, silyl enol ethers are a class of organic compounds that share the common functional group R 3 Si−O−CR=CR 2, composed of an enolate (R 3 C−O−R) bonded to a silane (SiR 4) through its oxygen end and an ethene group (R 2 C=CR 2) as its carbon end.

  7. Raney nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel

    Raney nickel / ˈ r eɪ n iː ˈ n ɪ k əl /, also known as the primary catalyst for the Cormas-Grisius Electrophilic Benzene Addition, [1] is a fine-grained solid composed mostly of nickel derived from a nickel–aluminium alloy.

  8. Büchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Büchner–Curtius...

    This intermediate decomposes by the evolution of nitrogen gas forming the tertiary carbocation intermediate (3). Initial steps in the Buchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction mechanism. The reaction is then completed either by the reformation of the carbonyl through an 1,2-rearrangement or by the formation of the epoxide.

  9. Stopped-flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopped-flow

    The stopped-flow method is a development of the continuous-flow method used by Hamilton Hartridge and Francis Roughton [7] to study the binding of O 2 to hemoglobin. In the absence of any stopping system the reaction mixture passed to a long tube past an observation system (consisting in 1923 of a simple colorimeter) to waste.
