  2. Dehydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration_reaction

    Alkenes can be made from alcohols by dehydration. This conversion, among others, is used in converting biomass to liquid fuels. [2] The conversion of ethanol to ethylene is a fundamental example: [3] [4] CH 3 CH 2 OH → H 2 C=CH 2 + H 2 O. The reaction is accelerated by acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid and certain zeolites.

  3. Solvated electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvated_electron

    A solvated electron is a free electron in a solution, in which it behaves like an anion. [1] An electron's being solvated in a solution means it is bound by the solution. [ 2 ] The notation for a solvated electron in formulas of chemical reactions is "e − ".

  4. Armed and disarmed saccharides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_and_disarmed_saccharides

    The armed/disarmed approach to glycosylation is an effective way to prevent sugar molecules from self-glycosylation when synthesizing disaccharides.This approach was first recognized when acetylated sugars only acted as glycosyl acceptors when reacted with benzylated sugars.

  5. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    In accordance with an E2 elimination the reaction with t-butyl chloride results in a KIE of 2.3. The methyl chloride reaction (only S N 2 possible) on the other hand has a KIE of 0.85 consistent with a S N 2 reaction because in this reaction type the C-H bonds tighten in the transition state. The KIE's for the ethyl (0.99) and isopropyl (1.72 ...

  6. Elution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elution

    Elution principle of column chromatography. In analytical and organic chemistry, elution is the process of extracting one material from another by washing with a solvent: washing of loaded ion-exchange resins to remove captured ions, or eluting proteins or other biopolymers from a gel electrophoresis or chromatography column.

  7. Ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether

    A typical example of the first group is the solvent and anaesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether" (CH 3 −CH 2 −O−CH 2 −CH 3). Ethers are common in organic chemistry and even more prevalent in biochemistry , as they are common linkages in carbohydrates and lignin .

  8. Fragmentation (mass spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(mass...

    In mass spectrometry, fragmentation is the dissociation of energetically unstable molecular ions formed from passing the molecules mass spectrum.These reactions are well documented over the decades and fragmentation patterns are useful to determine the molar weight and structural information of unknown molecules.

  9. Extraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_(chemistry)

    Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution of a solute between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition theory.
