    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_drinks

    Many works of fiction have incorporated into their world the existence of beverages or drinks – liquids made for popular consumption – which may create a sense of the world in which the story takes place, and in some cases may serve to advance the plot of the story.

  3. Allyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_alcohol

    Allyl alcohol is converted mainly to glycidol, which is a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of glycerol, glycidyl ethers, esters, and amines. Also, a variety of polymerizable esters are prepared from allyl alcohol, e.g. diallyl phthalate. [5] Allyl alcohol has herbicidal activity and can be used as a weed eradicant [9]) and fungicide. [8]

  4. Allyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_group

    A site adjacent to the unsaturated carbon atom is called the allylic position or allylic site. A group attached at this site is sometimes described as allylic. Thus, CH 2 =CHCH 2 OH "has an allylic hydroxyl group". Allylic C−H bonds are about 15% weaker than the C−H bonds in ordinary sp 3 carbon centers and are thus more reactive.

  5. Wharton reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharton_reaction

    The Wharton olefin synthesis allows the transformation of an α,β unsaturated ketone into an allylic alcohol. The epoxide starting material can be generated by a number of methods, with the most common being reaction of the corresponding alkene with hydrogen peroxide or m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The Wharton reaction also commonly suffers ...

  6. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    When an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl is reduced, three products can result: an allyl alcohol from simple carbonyl reduction, a saturated ketone or aldehyde resulting from 1,4‑reduction (also called conjugate reduction), or the saturated alcohol from double reduction. [19]

  7. Carbonyl allylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_allylation

    Carbonyl allylation has been employed in the synthesis of polyketide natural products and other oxygenated molecules with a contiguous array of stereocenters. For example, allylstannanation of a threose-derived aldehyde affords the macrolide antascomicin B, which structurally resembles FK506 and rapamycin, and is a potent binder of FKBP12. [12]

  8. Riley oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_oxidation

    A 2,3-sigmatropic shift, proceeding through an envelope-like transition state, gives the allylselenite ester, which upon hydrolysis gives the allylic alcohol. The ( E )- orientation about the double bond, a consequence of the envelope-like transition state, is observed in the penultimate ester formation, is retained during the hydrolysis step ...

  9. Base-promoted epoxide isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-promoted_epoxide...

    Removal of a proton adjacent to the epoxide, elimination, and neutralization of the resulting alkoxide lead to synthetically useful allylic alcohol products. In reactions of chiral , non-racemic epoxides, the configuration of the allylic alcohol product matches that of the epoxide substrate at the carbon whose C–O bond does not break (the ...
