  2. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical source material thereof. The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid.

  3. Acetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone (>C=O).It is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops.

  4. Methyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_acetate

    Methyl acetate is produced industrially via the carbonylation of methanol as a byproduct of the production of acetic acid. [6] Methyl acetate also arises by esterification of acetic acid with methanol in the presence of strong acids such as sulfuric acid; this production process is famous [according to whom?] because of Eastman Kodak's intensified process using a reactive distillation.

  5. Methyl tert-butyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_tert-butyl_ether

    Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), also known as tert-butyl methyl ether, is an organic compound with a structural formula (CH 3) 3 COCH 3.MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water. [1]

  6. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple ...

    Compounds are organized into the following lists: List of inorganic compounds, compounds without a C–H bond; List of biomolecules; See also.

  8. Ketone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone

    The derived names of ketones are obtained by writing separately the names of the two alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl group, followed by "ketone" as a separate word. Traditionally the names of the alkyl groups were written in order of increasing complexity, for example methyl ethyl ketone .

  9. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    Strong alkyl transferring agents, such as organolithium compounds but not Grignard reagents, will reduce carboxylic acids to ketones along with transfer of the alkyl group. The Vilsmaier reagent ( N , N -Dimethyl(chloromethylene)ammonium chloride; [ClHC=N + (CH 3 ) 2 ]Cl − ) is a highly chemoselective agent for carboxylic acid reduction.
