  2. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    In accordance with an E2 elimination the reaction with t-butyl chloride results in a KIE of 2.3. The methyl chloride reaction (only S N 2 possible) on the other hand has a KIE of 0.85 consistent with a S N 2 reaction because in this reaction type the C-H bonds tighten in the transition state. The KIE's for the ethyl (0.99) and isopropyl (1.72 ...

  3. Michelson–Morley experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment

    [A 2] Of this experiment, Albert Einstein wrote, "If the Michelson–Morley experiment had not brought us into serious embarrassment, no one would have regarded the relativity theory as a (halfway) redemption." [A 3]: 219 Michelson–Morley type experiments have been repeated many times with steadily increasing sensitivity.

  4. 1,2-Wittig rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Wittig_rearrangement

    A 1,2-Wittig rearrangement is a categorization of chemical reactions in organic chemistry, and consists of a 1,2-rearrangement of an ether with an alkyllithium compound. [1] The reaction is named for Nobel Prize winning chemist Georg Wittig. [2] [3] The intermediate is an alkoxy lithium salt, and the final product an alcohol.

  5. Aether (classical element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element)

    According to ancient and medieval science, aether (/ ˈ iː θ ər /, alternative spellings include æther, aither, and ether), also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. [1]

  6. Ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether

    A typical example of the first group is the solvent and anaesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether" (CH 3 −CH 2 −O−CH 2 −CH 3). Ethers are common in organic chemistry and even more prevalent in biochemistry , as they are common linkages in carbohydrates and lignin .

  7. Aldol condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation

    Ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate and campholenic aldehyde react in an Aldol condensation. [15] The synthetic procedure [16] is typical for this type of reaction. In the process, in addition to water, an equivalent of ethanol and carbon dioxide are lost in decarboxylation.

  8. Dehydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration_reaction

    Alkenes can be made from alcohols by dehydration. This conversion, among others, is used in converting biomass to liquid fuels. [2] The conversion of ethanol to ethylene is a fundamental example: [3] [4] CH 3 CH 2 OH → H 2 C=CH 2 + H 2 O. The reaction is accelerated by acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid and certain zeolites.

  9. Elution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elution

    Elution principle of column chromatography. In analytical and organic chemistry, elution is the process of extracting one material from another by washing with a solvent: washing of loaded ion-exchange resins to remove captured ions, or eluting proteins or other biopolymers from a gel electrophoresis or chromatography column.
