  2. Methoxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methoxy_group

    In nature, methoxy groups are found on nucleosides that have been subjected to 2′-O-methylation, for example in variations of the 5′-cap structure known as cap-1 and cap-2. They are also common substituents in O -methylated flavonoids , whose formation is catalyzed by O-methyltransferases that act on phenols , such as catechol- O -methyl ...

  3. Oxonium ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxonium_ion

    As shown in the example below, this was executed by a transannular halide abstraction strategy through the reaction of the oxonium ion precursor (an organic halide) with the silver salt of the Krossing's anion Ag[Al(pftb) 4]•CH 2 Cl 2, generating the desired oxonium ion with simultaneous precipitation of inorganic silver halides.

  4. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    The effect is used in a qualitative way and describes the electron withdrawing or releasing properties of substituents based on relevant resonance structures and is symbolized by the letter M. [2] The mesomeric effect is negative ( –M ) when the substituent is an electron-withdrawing group , and the effect is positive ( +M ) when the ...

  5. Trimethyl phosphite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethyl_phosphite

    P(OCH 3) 3 → CH 3 P(O)(OCH 3) 2. As a ligand, trimethyl phosphite has a smaller cone angle and better acceptor properties relative to trimethylphosphine. A representative derivative is the colorless tetrahedral complex Ni(P(OMe) 3) 4 (m.p. 108 °C). [4] The tridentate ligand called the Kläui ligand is derived from trimethyl phosphite. The ...

  6. Phosphite ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphite_ester

    pcl 3 + 3 c 2 h 5 oh + 3 r 3 n → (c 2 h 5 o) 3 p + 3 r 3 nhcl A base is not essential when using aromatic alcohols such as phenols, as they are not susceptible to attack by chloride, however it does catalyse the esterification reaction and is therefore often included.

  7. Trimethyl borate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethyl_borate

    Trimethyl borate is the organoboron compound with the formula B(OCH 3) 3 and a metal alkoxide. It is a colourless liquid that burns with a green flame. [1] It is an intermediate in the preparation of sodium borohydride and is a popular reagent in organic chemistry.

  8. 2,2-Dimethoxypropane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,2-Dimethoxypropane

    2,2-Dimethoxypropane (DMP) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(OCH 3) 2. A colorless liquid, it is the product of the condensation of acetone and methanol. DMP is used as a water scavenger in water-sensitive reactions. Upon acid-catalyzed reaction, DMP reacts quantitatively with water to form acetone and methanol. [2]

  9. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition.
