  2. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    For example, protonation of methanol gives an electrophilic methylating reagent that reacts by the S N 2 pathway: CH 3 OH + H + → [CH 3 OH 2] + Similarly, methyl iodide and methyl triflate are viewed as the equivalent of the methyl cation because they readily undergo S N 2 reactions by weak nucleophiles. The methyl cation has been detected in ...

  3. Free-radical addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_addition

    The behavior of hydrogen bromide generalizes in two separate directions. Halogenated compounds with a relatively stable radical can dissociate from the halogen. Thus, for example, sulfonyl, sulfenyl, and other sulfur halides can add radically to give respectively β‑halo sulfones, sulfoxides, or sulfides. [5]: 200, 204, 206

  4. Coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_reaction

    The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Richard F. Heck , Ei-ichi Negishi , and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions .

  5. Carbon–hydrogen bond activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond...

    Other mechanistic possibilities not involving direct C–H bond cleavage by the metal include (i) generation of arylmetal species by electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism (common for electrophilic Pd, Pt, Au, Hg species), (ii) cleavage of the C–H bond via hydrogen atom abstraction by an O- or N-centered radical, which may then go on ...

  6. Haloform reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloform_reaction

    In chemistry, the haloform reaction (also referred to as the Lieben haloform reaction) is a chemical reaction in which a haloform (CHX 3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of an acetyl group (R−C(=O)CH 3, where R can be either a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or an aryl group), in the presence of a base.

  7. Radical disproportionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_disproportionation

    When the hydrogen atoms in an alkyl radical are displaced with deuterium, disproportionation proceeds at a slightly slower rate whereas the rate of recombination remains the same. Thus disproportionation is weakly affected by the kinetic isotope effect with k H /k D = 1.20 ± 0.15 for ethylene. [ 7 ]

  8. Agostic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agostic_interaction

    The term agostic is reserved to describe two-electron, three-center bonding interactions between carbon, hydrogen, and a metal. Two-electron three-center bonding is clearly implicated in the complexation of H 2 , e.g., in W(CO) 3 (PCy 3 ) 2 H 2 , which is closely related to the agostic complex shown in the figure. [ 8 ]

  9. Acetyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl_group

    In organic chemistry, an acetyl group is a functional group denoted by the chemical formula −COCH 3 and the structure −C(=O)−CH 3.It is sometimes represented by the symbol Ac [5] [6] (not to be confused with the element actinium).
