  2. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound. It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [ 1 ]

  3. Carbanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbanion

    the inductive effect. Electronegative atoms adjacent to the charge will stabilize the charge; the extent of conjugation of the anion. Resonance effects can stabilize the anion. This is especially true when the anion is stabilized as a result of aromaticity. Geometry also affects the orbital hybridization of the charge-bearing carbanion. The ...

  4. Gabriel–Colman rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel–Colman_rearrangement

    This is then followed by a rapid isomerization of the imide anion to the carbanion. This is facilitated by the electron withdrawing effect of the substituent, which allows for greater stabilization of the adjacent carbanion with respect to the imide anion. The reaction is then completed when the methoxide is displaced by the ring closing, which ...

  5. 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene

    DNCB is produced commercially by the nitration of p-nitrochlorobenzene with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids.Other methods afford the compound less efficiently include the chlorination of 1,3-dinitrobenzene, nitration of o-nitrochlorobenzene and the dinitration of chlorobenzene.

  6. Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons...

    Deprotonation by base (B-) to generate the phosphonate carbanion. The Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction begins with the deprotonation of the phosphonate to give the phosphonate carbanion 1. Nucleophilic addition of the carbanion onto the aldehyde 2 (or ketone) producing 3a or 3b is the rate-limiting step. [12]

  7. Nitrile ylide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_ylide

    The 3-dimensional structure of the nitrilium ylide itself may also provide a clue as to the most appropriate resonance structure, with a linear R–C≡N–C unit supportive of the charge distribution indicated for resonance structures 1a & 1b and also consistent with the nomenclature nitrilium ylide.

  8. Carbene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbene

    The 1,2-rearrangement produced from intramolecular insertion into a bond adjacent to the carbene center is a nuisance in some reaction schemes, as it consumes the carbene to yield the same effect as a traditional elimination reaction. [16] Generally, rigid structures favor intramolecular insertions. In flexible structures, five-membered ring ...

  9. Food chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chemistry

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.
