For example, HOCl can react with double bonds in the organic reactant or product via a halohydrin formation reaction. To prevent interference from HOCl, a scavenger is usually added to the reaction to consume the HOCl as it is formed. For example, one can take advantage of the propensity of HOCl to undergo this addition reaction by adding a ...
Hypochlorous acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cl O H, also written as HClO, HOCl, or ClHO. [2] [3] Its structure is H−O−Cl.It is an acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming a hypochlorite anion, ClO −.
In certain kinds of alkene polymerization reactions, chain walking is an isomerization process that introduces branches into growing polymers. [citation needed] The trans isomer of resveratrol can be converted to the cis isomer in a photochemical reaction. [6] Thermal rearrangement of azulene to naphthalene has been observed. [7]
In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [1] [2] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds. Examples include a molecule with a carbon–carbon double bond (an alkene) or a triple bond (an alkyne).
A Tetrazine-Alkene reaction between a generalized tetrazine and a strained, trans-cyclooctene. Strained cyclooctenes and other activated alkenes react with tetrazines in an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder followed by a retro [4+2] cycloaddition (see figure). [41]
The Wittig reaction involves reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a Wittig reagent (or phosphorane) of the type Ph 3 P=CHR to produce an alkene and Ph 3 P=O. The Wittig reagent is itself prepared easily from triphenylphosphine and an alkyl halide.
The McMurry reaction of benzophenone. The McMurry reaction is an organic reaction in which two ketone or aldehyde groups are coupled to form an alkene using a titanium chloride compound such as titanium(III) chloride and a reducing agent. The reaction is named after its co-discoverer, John E. McMurry.
In organic chemistry, the ene reaction (also known as the Alder-ene reaction by its discoverer Kurt Alder in 1943) is a chemical reaction between an alkene with an allylic hydrogen (the ene) and a compound containing a multiple bond (the enophile), in order to form a new σ-bond with migration of the ene double bond and 1,5 hydrogen shift.
