    Figure 6:Reaction Coordinate Diagrams showing reactions with 0, 1 and 2 intermediates: The double-headed arrow shows the first, second and third step in each reaction coordinate diagram. In all three of these reactions the first step is the slow step because the activation energy from the reactants to the transition state is the highest.

  3. Sodium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate

    This is the reaction taking place in the well-known "volcano" that occurs when the household products, baking soda and vinegar, are combined. CH 3 COOH + NaHCO 3 → CH 3 COONa + H 2 CO 3 H 2 CO 3 → CO 2 + H 2 O. Industrially, sodium acetate trihydrate is prepared by reacting acetic acid with sodium hydroxide using water as the solvent. CH 3 ...

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  5. Sodium methoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_methoxide

    Sodium methoxide is prepared by treating methanol with sodium: 2 Na + 2 CH 3 OH → 2 CH 3 ONa + H 2. The reaction is so exothermic that ignition is possible. The resulting solution, which is colorless, is often used as a source of sodium methoxide, but the pure material can be isolated by evaporation followed by heating to remove residual methanol.

  6. Ketone halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_halogenation

    Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of acetic acid. Basic (in aqueous NaOH): Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of aqueous NaOH. In acidic solution, usually only one alpha hydrogen is replaced by a halogen, as each successive halogenation is slower than the first.

  7. Acetic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_anhydride

    Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CO) 2 O.Commonly abbreviated Ac 2 O, it is the simplest isolable anhydride of a carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis.

  8. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    In the Koch reaction, the addition of water and carbon monoxide to alkenes or alkynes is catalyzed by strong acids. Hydrocarboxylations involve the simultaneous addition of water and CO. Such reactions are sometimes called "Reppe chemistry." HC≡CH + CO + H 2 O → CH 2 =CH−CO 2 H. Hydrolysis of triglycerides obtained from plant or animal oils.
