  2. Sigmatropic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmatropic_reaction

    The Cope rearrangement is an extensively studied organic reaction involving the [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of 1,5-dienes. [14] [15] [16] It was developed by Arthur C. Cope. For example, 3,4-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene heated to 300 °C yields 2,6-octadiene. The Cope rearrangement of 3,4-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene

  3. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [1]A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.

  4. Zeldovich mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeldovich_mechanism

    At fuel-rich conditions, due to lack of oxygen, reaction 2 becomes weak, hence, a third reaction is included in the mechanism, also known as extended Zel'dovich mechanism (with all three reactions), [5] [6]

  6. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.

  7. Lindemann mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindemann_mechanism

    Usually, this mechanism is used in gas phase decomposition and also in isomerization reactions. An example of isomerization by a Lindemann mechanism is the isomerization of cyclopropane. [11] cyclo−C 3 H 6 → CH 3 −CH=CH 2. Although it seems like a simple reaction, it is actually a multistep reaction: cyclo−C 3 H 6 → CH 2 −CH 2 −CH ...

  8. Reaction–diffusion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction–diffusion_system

    The choice R(u) = u(1 − u) yields Fisher's equation that was originally used to describe the spreading of biological populations, [3] the Newell–Whitehead-Segel equation with R(u) = u(1 − u 2) to describe Rayleigh–Bénard convection, [4] [5] the more general Zeldovich–Frank-Kamenetskii equation with R(u) = u(1 − u)e-β(1-u) and 0 ...

  9. E1cB-elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1cB-elimination_reaction

    The lone pair of electrons on the anion then moves to the neighboring atom, thus expelling the leaving group and forming a double or triple bond. [1] The name of the mechanism - E1cB - stands for Elimination Unimolecular conjugate Base. Elimination refers to the fact that the mechanism is an elimination reaction and will lose two substituents.
