  2. Carbonyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula C=O, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom. It is common to several classes of organic compounds (such as aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acid), as part of many larger functional groups. A compound containing a ...

  3. Metal carbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_carbonyl

    Most metal carbonyl complexes contain a mixture of ligands. Examples include the historically important IrCl(CO)(P(C 6 H 5) 3) 2 and the antiknock agent (CH 3 C 5 H 4)Mn(CO) 3. The parent compounds for many of these mixed ligand complexes are the binary carbonyls, those species of the formula [M x (CO) n] z, many of which are

  4. Diol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

    A diol is a chemical compound containing two hydroxyl groups (−OH groups). [1] An aliphatic diol may also be called a glycol. [2] This pairing of functional groups is pervasive, and many subcategories have been identified. They are used as protecting groups of carbonyl groups, making them essential in synthesis of organic chemistry. [3]

  5. Dicarbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbonyl

    General structure of 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-dicarbonyls. In organic chemistry, a dicarbonyl is a molecule containing two carbonyl (C=O) groups.Although this term could refer to any organic compound containing two carbonyl groups, it is used more specifically to describe molecules in which both carbonyls are in close enough proximity that their reactivity is changed, such as 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4 ...

  6. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (−C(=O)−OH) [1] attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is often written as R−COOH or R−CO 2 H , sometimes as R−C(O)OH with R referring to an organyl group (e.g., alkyl , alkenyl , aryl ), or hydrogen , or other groups.

  7. Paternò–Büchi reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternò–Büchi_reaction

    Here an electronically excited carbonyl group is added to a ground state olefin yielding an oxetane. With substrates benzaldehyde and 2-methyl-2-butene the reaction product is a mixture of structural isomers: Another substrate set is benzaldehyde and furan [4] or heteroaromatic ketones and fluorinated alkenes. [5]

  8. Woodward's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward's_rules

    With the aid of these rules the UV absorption maximum can be predicted, for example in these two compounds: [8] In the compound on the left, the base value is 214 nm (a heteroannular diene). This diene group has 4 alkyl substituents (labeled 1,2,3,4) and the double bond in one ring is exocyclic to the other (adding 5 nm for an exocyclic double ...

  9. Benzil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzil

    The compound's most noteworthy structural feature is the long carbon-carbon bond of 1.54 Å, which indicates the absence of pi-bonding between the two carbonyl centers.The PhCO centers are planar, but the pair of benzoyl groups are twisted with respect to the other with a dihedral angle of 117°.
