  2. Frustrated Lewis pair - Wikipedia

    Ethene also reacts with FLPs: [8] PCy 3 + B(C 6 F 5) 3 + C 2 H 4 → Cy 3 P + CH 2 CH 2 B − (C 6 F 5) 3. For acid-base pairs to behave both nucleophilically and electrophilically at the same time offers a method for the ring-opening of cyclic ethers such as THF, 2,5-dihydrofuran, coumaran, and dioxane.

    Structure of (acac)Rh(C 2 H 4)(C 2 F 4), distances (red) in picometers. [3]The bonding between alkenes and transition metals is described by the Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson model, which involves donation of electrons in the pi-orbital on the alkene to empty orbitals on the metal.

  4. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C 2 H 4 or H 2 C=CH 2. It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky " odour when pure. [ 7 ] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon–carbon double bonds ).

  5. Bromine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine

    The mechanism is that the highly reactive hydrogen radicals, oxygen radicals, and hydroxyl radicals react with hydrobromic acid to form less reactive bromine radicals (i.e., free bromine atoms). Bromine atoms may also react directly with other radicals to help terminate the free radical chain-reactions that characterise combustion. [63] [64]

  6. Ether - Wikipedia

    Since phenols are acidic, they readily react with a strong base like sodium hydroxide to form phenoxide ions. The phenoxide ion will then substitute the –X group in the alkyl halide, forming an ether with an aryl group attached to it in a reaction with an S N 2 mechanism. C 6 H 5 OH + OH − → C 6 H 5 –O − + H 2 O C 6 H 5 –O − + R ...

  7. Eschweiler–Clarke reaction - Wikipedia

    From this mechanism it is clear that a quaternary ammonium salt will never form, because it is impossible for a tertiary amine to form another imine or iminium ion. Chiral amines typically do not racemize under these conditions. [6] Altered versions of this reaction replace formic acid with sodium cyanoborohydride.

    In another comparison of Lewis and Brønsted–Lowry acidity by Brown and Kanner, [19] 2,6-di-t-butylpyridine reacts to form the hydrochloride salt with HCl but does not react with BF 3. This example demonstrates that steric factors, in addition to electron configuration factors, play a role in determining the strength of the interaction ...

  9. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    Ether synthesis by reaction of salicylaldehyde with chloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide [1] The Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol . This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. [2]
