  2. Cross-coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-coupling_reaction

    Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this: R−M + R'−X → R−R' + MX (R, R' = organic fragments, usually aryl; M = main group center such as Li or MgX; X = halide) These reactions are used to form carbon–carbon bonds but also carbon-heteroatom bonds.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Organic synthesis of a novel compound is a problem-solving task, where a synthesis is designed for a target molecule by selecting optimal reactions from optimal starting materials. Complex compounds can have tens of reaction steps that sequentially build the desired molecule.

  4. Stellar nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_nucleosynthesis

    The reaction rate density between species A and B, having number densities n A,B, is given by: = where k is the reaction rate constant of each single elementary binary reaction composing the nuclear fusion process: = here, σ(v) is the cross-section at relative velocity v, and averaging is performed over all velocities.

  5. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    The classic synthesis is the Fischer esterification, which involves treating a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a dehydrating agent: RCO 2 H + R'OH ⇌ RCO 2 R' + H 2 O. The equilibrium constant for such reactions is about 5 for typical esters, e.g., ethyl acetate. [15] The reaction is slow in the absence of a catalyst.

  6. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    An allergic reaction, formally known as type 1 hypersensitivity, is the result of an inappropriate immune response triggering inflammation, vasodilation, and nerve irritation. A common example is hay fever , which is caused by a hypersensitive response by mast cells to allergens .

    The two discovered a new element in a molybdenum sample that was used in a cyclotron, the first element to be discovered by synthesis. It had been predicted by Mendeleev in 1871 as eka-manganese. [171] [172] [173] In 1952, Paul W. Merrill found its spectral lines in S-type red giants. [174]

  8. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    NCO recombinants are thought to occur primarily by the Synthesis Dependent Strand Annealing (SDSA) model, illustrated on the left. Most recombination events appear to be the SDSA type. Genetic recombination (also known as genetic reshuffling ) is the exchange of genetic material between different organisms which leads to production of offspring ...
