Tropone or 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one is an organic compound with some importance in organic chemistry as a non-benzenoid aromatic. [2] The compound consists of a ring of seven carbon atoms with three conjugated alkene groups and a ketone group.
The reactivity of a functional group can be modified by other functional groups nearby. Functional group interconversion can be used in retrosynthetic analysis to plan organic synthesis. A functional group is a group of atoms in a molecule with distinctive chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule.
Tropolone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 7 H 5 (OH)O. It is a pale yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a pale yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The compound has been of interest to research chemists because of its unusual electronic structure and its role as a ligand precursor.
In organic chemistry, functionality is often used as a synonym for functional group. For example, a hydroxyl group can also be called a HO-function. [1] [2] Functionalisation means the introduction of functional groups, for example the functionalisation of a surface [3] (e.g. silanization for the specific modification of the adhesion of a surface)
In 1998, Mander et al. synthesized the diterpenoid tropone, harringtonolide [6] using the Buchner intramolecular ring expansion annulation chemistry. A rhodium catalyst (Rh 2 (mandelate) 4) and DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) were used to generate the carbene. This natural product was found to have antineoplastic and antiviral properties.
[6+4] Cycloaddition is a type of cycloaddition between a six-atom pi system and a four-atom pi system, leading to a ten-membered ring. Because this is a higher-order cycloaddition, issues of periselectivity arise in addition to the usual concerns about regio- and stereoselectivity.
In chemistry, bifunctionality or difunctionality is the presence of two functional groups in a molecule. A bifunctional species has the properties of each of the two types of functional groups, such as an alcohol (−OH), amide (−CONH 2), aldehyde (−CHO), nitrile (−CN) or carboxylic acid (−COOH). Many bifunctional species are used to ...
In organic and organometallic chemistry, an organyl group (commonly denoted by the letter "R") is an organic substituent with one (sometimes more) free valence(-s) at a carbon atom. [1] The term is often used in chemical patent literature to protect claims over a broad scope. [citation needed]
