  2. 2-Pentyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Pentyne

    Ethylmethylacetylene, 1-Ethyl-2-methylacetylene propyl acetylene. ... 2-Pentyne, an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 C≡CCH 3 and is an internal alkyne.

  3. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    This step is generally thought to proceed through a so-called β-hydride elimination with a cyclic four-membered transition state: Wacker hydride elimination. In silico studies [24] [25] [26] argue that the transition state for this reaction step is unfavorable and an alternative reductive elimination reaction mechanism is in play. The proposed ...

  4. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [1] A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction. The detailed steps of a reaction are not observable in most cases.

  5. Prilezhaev reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prilezhaev_reaction

    The reaction is highly stereospecific in the sense that the double bond stereochemistry is generally transferred to the relative configuration of the epoxide with essentially perfect fidelity, so that a trans-olefin leads to the stereoselective formation of the trans-2,3-substituted epoxide only, as illustrated by the example above, while a cis ...

  6. Electrocyclic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocyclic_reaction

    Reactions can be either ring-opening or ring-closing (electrocyclization). Depending on the type of reaction (photochemical or thermal) and the number of pi electrons, the reaction can happen through either a conrotatory or disrotatory mechanism. The type of rotation determines whether the cis or trans isomer of the product will be formed.

  7. Transesterification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification

    Strong acids catalyze the reaction by donating a proton to the carbonyl group, thus making it a more potent electrophile. Bases catalyze the reaction by removing a proton from the alcohol, thus making it more nucleophilic. The reaction can also be accomplished with the help of enzymes, particularly lipases (one example is the lipase E.C.3.1.1.3 ...

  8. Olefin metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_metathesis

    In any of the pairwise mechanisms with olefin pairing as rate-determining step this compound, a secondary reaction product of C12 with C6, would form well after formation of the two primary reaction products C12 and C16. In 1974 Casey was the first to implement carbenes into the metathesis reaction mechanism: [27]

  9. Transmetalation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmetalation

    In redox-transmetalation/ligand exchange the ligands of two metal complexes switch places with each other, bonding with the other metal center. The R ligand can be an alkyl, aryl, alkynyl, or allyl group and the X ligand can be a halogen, pseudo-halogen, alkyl, or aryl group. The reaction can proceed by two possible intermediate steps.
