  2. SNi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNi

    With standard S N 1 reaction conditions the reaction outcome is retention via a competing S N i mechanism and not racemization and with pyridine added the result is again inversion. [5] [3] S N i reaction mechanism Sn1 occurs in tertiary carbon while Sn2 occurs in primary carbon

  3. SN1 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN1_reaction

    General reaction scheme for the S N 1 reaction. The leaving group is denoted "X", and the nucleophile is denoted "Nu–H". The unimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 1) reaction is a substitution reaction in organic chemistry.

  4. Sigmatropic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmatropic_reaction

    Sigmatropic rearrangements are concisely described by an order term [i,j], which is defined as the migration of a σ-bond adjacent to one or more π systems to a new position (i−1) and (j−1) atoms removed from the original location of the σ-bond. [3]

  5. Substitution reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_reaction

    In the second step, the nucleophilic reagent (Nuc:) attaches to the carbocation and forms a covalent sigma bond. If the substrate has a chiral carbon, this mechanism can result in either inversion of the stereochemistry or retention of configuration. Usually, both occur without preference. The result is racemization.

  6. Glycoside hydrolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside_hydrolase

    Retaining glycosidases operate through a two-step mechanism, with each step resulting in inversion, for a net retention of stereochemistry. Again, two residues are involved, which are usually enzyme-borne carboxylates. One acts as a nucleophile and the other as an acid/base.

  7. Walden inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden_inversion

    In the Walden inversion, the backside attack by the nucleophile in an S N 2 reaction gives rise to a product whose configuration is opposite to the reactant. Therefore, during S N 2 reaction, 100% inversion of product takes place. This is known as Walden inversion. It was first observed by chemist Paul Walden in 1896.

  8. Bacterial cell structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cell_structure

    Many bacteria secrete extracellular polymers outside of their cell walls called glycocalyx. These polymers are usually composed of polysaccharides and sometimes protein. Capsules are relatively impermeable structures that cannot be stained with dyes such as India ink. They are structures that help protect bacteria from phagocytosis and desiccation.

  9. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    The role of lipopolysaccharides here are verified from the observation that shorter O-side chains are more effectively transformed – perhaps because of improved DNA accessibility. The surface of bacteria such as E. coli is negatively charged due to phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides on its cell surface, and the DNA is also negatively ...
