Biguanide (/ b aɪ ˈ ɡ w ɒ n aɪ d /) is the organic compound with the formula HN(C(NH)NH 2) 2. It is a colorless solid that dissolves in water to give a highly basic solution. It is a colorless solid that dissolves in water to give a highly basic solution.
In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.
The Craig plot, named after Paul N. Craig, is a plot of two substituent parameters (e.g. Hansch-Fujita π constant and sigma constant) used in rational drug design. [1] Two most used forms of a Craig plot are plotting the sigma constants of the Hammett equation versus hydrophobicity; plotting the steric terms of the Taft equation against ...
In organic chemistry, the Mannich reaction is a three-component organic reaction that involves the amino alkylation of an acidic proton next to a carbonyl (C=O) functional group by formaldehyde (H−CHO) and a primary or secondary amine (−NH 2) or ammonia (NH 3). [1] The final product is a β-amino-carbonyl compound also known as a Mannich base.
meta-Chlorophenylbiguanide (1-(3-Chlorophenylbiguanide, m-CPBG) is an allosteric agonist and modulator of the 5-HT 3 receptor [1] [2] [3] and an antagonist of the α 2A-adrenergic receptor. [4] It has anxiogenic , emetic and hypothermic effects in animal studies.
Chloroformates are used as reagents in organic chemistry. For example, benzyl chloroformate is used to introduce the Cbz (carboxybenzyl) protecting group and fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride is used to introduce the FMOC protecting group. Chloroformates are popular in the field of chromatography as derivatization agents.
The reaction can also be carried out under mildly acidic conditions by way of the same intermediate using a hypervalent iodine compound in aqueous solution. [1] An example published in Organic Syntheses is the conversion of cyclobutanecarboxamide , easily synthesized from cyclobutylcarboxylic acid , to cyclobutylamine . [ 2 ]
[1] [2] Azlactone chemistry: step 2 is a Perkin variation. Hippuric acid, the benzamide derivative of glycine, cyclizes in the presence of acetic anhydride, condensing to give 2-phenyl-oxazolone. [3] This intermediate also has two acidic protons and reacts with benzaldehyde, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate to a so-called azlactone.
