Well-known examples include the Grignard reaction, the Sabatier reaction, the Wittig reaction, the Claisen condensation, the Friedel–Crafts acylation, and the Diels–Alder reaction. Books have been published devoted exclusively to name reactions; [2] [3] [4] the Merck Index, a chemical encyclopedia, also includes an appendix on name reactions.
Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. [2] Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.
Phenylacetone, also known as phenyl-2-propanone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 COCH 3. It is a colorless oil that is soluble in organic solvents . It is a mono- substituted benzene derivative, consisting of an acetone attached to a phenyl group .
Heating a reaction can result in radical initiation of the substrate(s). [6] In the presence of heat, a monomer can self-initiate and react with other monomers or pairs of monomers. This process is called spontaneous polymerization and requires a lot of heat to occur (up to 200°C). [ 4 ]
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.
The organic group "R2" shown in the diagram above on the bottom right is the methyl violet carbocation, whose pK R+ of 9.4 is not sufficient to out-compete loss of H + and therefore a classical Pummerer rearrangement occurs. The reaction on the left is a fragmentation because the leaving group with pK R+ = 23.7 is particularly stable.
A multi-component reaction (or MCR), sometimes referred to as a "Multi-component Assembly Process" (or MCAP), is a chemical reaction where three or more compounds react to form a single product. [1] By definition, multicomponent reactions are those reactions whereby more than two reactants combine in a sequential manner to give highly selective ...
Cascade reactions are often key steps in the efficient total synthesis of complex natural products. The key step in Heathcock's synthesis of dihydroprotodaphniphylline features a highly efficient cascade involving two aldehyde/amine condensations, a Prins-like cyclization, and a 1,5-hydride transfer to afford a pentacyclic structure from an acyclic starting material.
