  2. Sodium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate

    Any of these reactions produce sodium acetate and water. When a sodium and carbonate ion-containing compound is used as the reactant, the carbonate anion from sodium bicarbonate or carbonate, reacts with the hydrogen from the carboxyl group (-COOH) in acetic acid, forming carbonic acid. Carbonic acid readily decomposes under normal conditions ...

  3. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis. When the carboxylate is long chain, its salt is called a soap. The saponification of ethyl acetate gives sodium acetate and ethanol: C 2 H 5 O 2 CCH 3 + NaOH → C 2 H 5 OH + NaO 2 CCH 3

  4. Acetate pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate_pathway

    The acetate pathway, also known as the polyketide pathway, is a fundamental biosynthetic route in organisms for the production of fatty acids and polyketides. This pathway operates at the interface of central metabolism and specialized metabolite synthesis, playing a crucial role in the synthesis of both primary and secondary metabolites.

  5. Chain transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_transfer

    In polymer chemistry, chain transfer is a polymerization reaction by which the activity of a growing polymer chain is transferred to another molecule: [1] [2] + + where • is the active center, P is the initial polymer chain, X is the end group, and R is the substituent to which the active center is transferred.

  6. Wohl degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wohl_degradation

    In this reaction step the oxime is converted into the nitrile with simultaneous conversion of all the alcohol groups to acetate groups. In the final step sodium methoxide in methanol is added, leading to removal of all the acetate groups and ejection of the nitrile group and collapse of the second carbon from a tetrahedral structure to an aldehyde.

  7. Acetyl-CoA synthetase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl-CoA_synthetase

    Acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) or Acetate—CoA ligase is an enzyme (EC 6.2.1.1) involved in metabolism of acetate. It is in the ligase class of enzymes, meaning that it catalyzes the formation of a new chemical bond between two large molecules.

  8. Chain-growth polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-growth_polymerization

    Chain initiation is the initial generation of a chain carrier, which is an intermediate such as a radical or an ion which can continue the reaction by chain propagation. Initiation steps are classified according to the way that energy is provided: thermal initiation, high energy initiation, and chemical initiation, etc. Thermal initiation uses ...

  9. Heck reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heck_reaction

    Typical bases are triethylamine, potassium carbonate, and sodium acetate. The aryl electrophile can be a halide (Br, Cl) or a triflate as well as benzyl or vinyl halides. The alkene must contain at least one sp 2-C-H bond. Electron-withdrawing substituents enhance the reaction, thus acrylates are ideal. [12]
