  2. Wöhler synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wöhler_synthesis

    An additional proof of the chemical transformation is obtained by adding a solution of oxalic acid which forms urea oxalate as a white precipitate. [3] Alternatively the reaction can be carried out with lead cyanate and ammonia. [4] The actual reaction taking place is a double displacement reaction to form ammonium cyanate:

  3. Wolff–Kishner reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Kishner_reduction

    The Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene groups. [1] [2] In the context of complex molecule synthesis, it is most frequently employed to remove a carbonyl group after it has served its synthetic purpose of activating an intermediate in a preceding step.

    The initial stoichiometric reaction was first reported by Francis Clifford Phillips in his doctoral dissertation on the composition of Pennsylvanian natural gas defended in 1893. [9] This net reaction can also be described as follows: [PdCl 4] 2 − + C 2 H 4 + H 2 O → CH 3 CHO + Pd + 2 HCl + 2 Cl −

  6. Ei mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ei_mechanism

    In organic chemistry, the E i mechanism (Elimination Internal/Intramolecular), also known as a thermal syn elimination or a pericyclic syn elimination, is a special type of elimination reaction in which two vicinal (adjacent) substituents on an alkane framework leave simultaneously via a cyclic transition state to form an alkene in a syn elimination. [1]

  7. Organic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_reaction

    Organic chemistry has a strong tradition of naming a specific reaction to its inventor or inventors and a long list of so-called named reactions exists, conservatively estimated at 1000. A very old named reaction is the Claisen rearrangement (1912) and a recent named reaction is the Bingel reaction (1993).

  8. Pyramidal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_inversion

    In chemistry, pyramidal inversion (also umbrella inversion) is a fluxional process in compounds with a pyramidal molecule, such as ammonia (NH 3) "turns inside out". [1] [2] It is a rapid oscillation of the atom and substituents, the molecule or ion passing through a planar transition state. [3]

  9. Bouveault–Blanc reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouveault–Blanc_reduction

    The Bouveault–Blanc reduction is a chemical reaction in which an ester is reduced to primary alcohols using absolute ethanol and sodium metal. [1] It was first reported by Louis Bouveault and Gustave Louis Blanc in 1903.
