N-Bromosuccinimide or NBS is a chemical reagent used in radical substitution, electrophilic addition, and electrophilic substitution reactions in organic chemistry. NBS can be a convenient source of Br • , the bromine radical.
The Wohl–Ziegler reaction [1] [2] is a chemical reaction that involves the allylic or benzylic bromination of hydrocarbons using an N-bromosuccinimide and a radical initiator. [3] Best yields are achieved with N-bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride solvent. Several reviews have been published. [4] [5]
This is a list of unsolved problems in chemistry. Problems in chemistry are considered unsolved when an expert in the field considers it unsolved or when several experts in the field disagree about a solution to a problem.
The Bouveault aldehyde synthesis (also known as the Bouveault reaction) is a one-pot substitution reaction that replaces an alkyl or aryl halide with a formyl group using a N,N-disubstituted formamide. [1] [2] For primary alkyl halides this produces the homologous aldehyde one carbon longer. For aryl halides this produces the corresponding ...
The von Braun reaction is an organic reaction in which a tertiary amine reacts with cyanogen bromide to an organocyanamide. [1] An example is the reaction of N,N-dimethyl-1-naphthylamine: [2] These days, most chemist have replaced cyanogen bromide reagent with chloroethyl chloroformate reagent instead. It appears as though Olofson et al. was ...
If a reaction network has n reactions and m participating molecular species, then the stoichiometry matrix will have correspondingly m rows and n columns. For example, consider the system of reactions shown below: S 1 → S 2 5 S 3 + S 2 → 4 S 3 + 2 S 2 S 3 → S 4 S 4 → S 5. This system comprises four reactions and five different molecular ...
In organic chemistry, a cross-coupling reaction is a reaction where two different fragments are joined. Cross-couplings are a subset of the more general coupling reactions. Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this:
N-Iodosuccinimide (NIS) is a reagent used in organic chemistry for the iodination of alkenes and as a mild oxidant. [ 2 ] NIS is the iodine analog of N -chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and N -bromosuccinimide (NBS) which are used for similar applications.
