  2. Reduction of nitro compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_nitro_compounds

    The conversion can be effected by many reagents. The nitro group was one of the first functional groups to be reduced. Alkyl and aryl nitro compounds behave differently. Most useful is the reduction of aryl nitro compounds.

  3. 3-Nitrobenzoic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Nitrobenzoic_acid

    3-Nitrobenzoic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (NO 2)CO 2 H. It is an aromatic compound and under standard conditions, it is an off-white solid. The two substituents are in a meta position with respect to each other, giving the alternative name of m-nitrobenzoic acid.

  4. Acetophenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetophenone

    Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:

  6. Transalkylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transalkylation

    Reaction of toluene to produce benzene and xylene. Transalkylation, as used by the petrochemical industry, is often used to convert toluene into benzene and xylenes. This is achieved through a disproportionation reaction of toluene in which one toluene molecule transfers its methyl group to another one. The reaction is not selective, and the ...

  7. Haloform reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloform_reaction

    In chemistry, the haloform reaction (also referred to as the Lieben haloform reaction) is a chemical reaction in which a haloform (CHX 3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of an acetyl group (R−C(=O)CH 3, where R can be either a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or an aryl group), in the presence of a base.

  8. 4-Nitrophenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-nitrophenol

    4-Nitrophenol is an intermediate in the synthesis of paracetamol.It is reduced to 4-aminophenol, then acetylated with acetic anhydride. [6]4-Nitrophenol is used as the precursor for the preparation of phenetidine and acetophenetidine, indicators, and raw materials for fungicides.

  9. Aromatization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatization

    The process, which is catalyzed by platinum supported by aluminium oxide, is exemplified in the conversion methylcyclohexane (a naphthene) into toluene (an aromatic). [2] Dehydrocyclization converts paraffins (acyclic hydrocarbons) into aromatics. [3] A related aromatization process includes dehydroisomerization of methylcyclopentane to benzene:
