Triethylamine is the chemical compound with the formula N(CH 2 CH 3) 3, commonly abbreviated Et 3 N. It is also abbreviated TEA, yet this abbreviation must be used carefully to avoid confusion with triethanolamine or tetraethylammonium, for which TEA is also a common abbreviation.
As the name suggests, a non-nucleophilic base is a sterically hindered organic base that is a poor nucleophile.Normal bases are also nucleophiles, but often chemists seek the proton-removing ability of a base without any other functions.
DIPEA is a sterically hindered organic base that is commonly employed as a proton scavenger. Thus, like 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and triethylamine, DIPEA is a good base but a poor nucleophile, DIPEA has low solubility in water, which makes it very easily recovered in commercial processes, a combination of properties that makes it a useful organic reagent.
Tetraethylammonium (TEA) is a quaternary ammonium cation with the chemical formula [Et 4 N] +, consisting of four ethyl groups (−C 2 H 5, denoted Et) attached to a central nitrogen atom.
4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) is a derivative of pyridine with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 NC 5 H 4 N. This white solid is of interest because it is more basic than pyridine, owing to the resonance stabilisation from the NMe 2 substituent.
Dess–Martin periodinane (DMP) is a chemical reagent used in the Dess–Martin oxidation, oxidizing primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones. [1] [2] This periodinane has several advantages over chromium- and DMSO-based oxidants that include milder conditions (room temperature, neutral pH), shorter reaction times, higher yields, simplified workups, high chemoselectivity ...
pKa values for acetic, chloroacetic, dichloroacetic and trichloroacetic acids. Inductive effects and mesomeric effects affect the pK a values. A simple example is provided by the effect of replacing the hydrogen atoms in acetic acid by the more electronegative chlorine atom.
Methanesulfonyl chloride is mainly used to give methanesulfonates by its reaction with alcohols in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base. [8] In contrast to the formation of toluenesulfonates from alcohols and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of pyridine, the formation of methanesulfonates is believed to proceed via a mechanism wherein methanesulfonyl chloride first undergoes an ...
