In nature, methoxy groups are found on nucleosides that have been subjected to 2′-O-methylation, for example in variations of the 5′-cap structure known as cap-1 and cap-2. They are also common substituents in O -methylated flavonoids , whose formation is catalyzed by O-methyltransferases that act on phenols , such as catechol- O -methyl ...
Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir 2 (OCH 3) 2 (C 8 H 12) 2, where C 8 H 12 is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The complex is used as a precursor to other iridium complexes, some of which are used in homogeneous catalysis. [1]
P(OCH 3) 3 → CH 3 P(O)(OCH 3) 2. As a ligand, trimethyl phosphite has a smaller cone angle and better acceptor properties relative to trimethylphosphine. A representative derivative is the colorless tetrahedral complex Ni(P(OMe) 3) 4 (m.p. 108 °C). [4] The tridentate ligand called the Kläui ligand is derived from trimethyl phosphite. The ...
Trimethyl borate is the organoboron compound with the formula B(OCH 3) 3 and a metal alkoxide. It is a colourless liquid that burns with a green flame. [1] It is an intermediate in the preparation of sodium borohydride and is a popular reagent in organic chemistry. It is a weak Lewis acid (AN = 23, Gutmann-Beckett method). [2]
In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.
This can also explain why phosphorus in phosphanes can't donate electron density to carbon through induction (i.e. +I effect) although it is less electronegative than carbon (2.19 vs 2.55, see electronegativity list) and why hydroiodic acid (pKa = -10) being much more acidic than hydrofluoric acid (pKa = 3).
In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition.
Al(OEt) 3 + 3 H 2 O → Al(OH) 3 + 3 EtOH. Although the structure of aluminium triethoxide has not been established by X-ray crystallography, the related aluminium isopropoxide has a tetrameric structure as verified by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The species is described by the formula Al[(μ-O-i-Pr) 2 Al(O-i-Pr) 2] 3.
