  2. Decarbonylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarbonylation

    In chemistry, decarbonylation is a type of organic reaction that involves the loss of carbon monoxide (CO). It is often an undesirable reaction, since it represents a degradation. In the chemistry of metal carbonyls, decarbonylation describes a substitution process, whereby a CO ligand is replaced by another ligand.

  3. Decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation

    Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO 2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids , removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.

  4. Umpolung - Wikipedia

    Yet, the negative charge of the cyanide ion is localized on the carbon, giving it a (-) formal charge. This chemical ambivalence results in umpolung in many reactions where cyanide is involved. For example, cyanide is a key catalyst in the benzoin condensation, a classical example of polarity inversion. Mechanism of the benzoin condensation

  5. Kolbe electrolysis - Wikipedia

    Another example is the synthesis of 2,7-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrooctane from 4-methyl-4-nitrovaleric acid: [3] The Kolbe reaction has also been occasionally used in cross-coupling reactions . In 2022, it was discovered that the Kolbe electrolysis is enhanced if an alternating square wave current is used instead of a direct current .

  6. Carroll rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carroll_rearrangement

    The Carroll rearrangement is a rearrangement reaction in organic chemistry and involves the transformation of a β-keto allyl ester into a α-allyl-β-ketocarboxylic acid. [1] This organic reaction is accompanied by decarboxylation and the final product is a γ,δ-allylketone.

  7. Aldol condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation

    The mechanism for base-catalyzed aldol condensation can be seen in the image below. A mechanism for aldol condensation in basic conditions, which occurs via enolate intermediates and E1CB elimination. The process begins when a free hydroxide (strong base) strips the highly acidic proton at the alpha carbon of the aldehyde.

  8. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate_di...

    The HPPD reaction occurs through a NIH shift and involves the oxidative decarboxylation of an α-oxo acid as well as aromatic ring hydroxylation. The NIH-shift, which has been demonstrated through isotope-labeling studies, involves migration of an alkyl group to form a more stable carbocation. The shift, accounts for the observation that C3 is ...

  9. Benzilic acid rearrangement - Wikipedia

    The above mechanism is consistent with all available experimental evidence. [3] The equilibrium between species 1 and 2 is supported by 18 O Isotopic labeling experiments. In deuterated water , carbonyl oxygen exchange occurs much faster than the rearrangement, indicating that the first equilibrium is not the rate-determining step.
