2. Dakin oxidation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin_oxidation

   The Dakin oxidation. The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate.

A review by Prof. Kocienski. A user site excerpting the classic Greene and Wuts text regarding stability of a few key groups, from this reference's extensive tables.

4. List of reagents - Wikipedia

   is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate; used in organic chemistry as a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation, such as double bonds; N-Bromosuccinimide: used in radical substitution and electrophilic addition reactions in organic chemistry. Also acts as a mild oxidizer to oxidize benzylic or allylic alcohols.

5. Organic chemistry - Wikipedia

   His discovery, made widely known through its financial success, greatly increased interest in organic chemistry. [9] A crucial breakthrough for organic chemistry was the concept of chemical structure, developed independently in 1858 by both Friedrich August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper. [10]

6. 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).

7. Bredt's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bredt's_rule

   In organic chemistry, an anti-Bredt molecule is a bridged molecule with a double bond at the bridgehead. Bredt's rule is the empirical observation that such molecules only form in large ring systems. For example, two of the following norbornene isomers violate Bredt's rule, and are too unstable to prepare: Bridgehead atoms violating Bredt's ...

8. Ether - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether

   In organic chemistry, ethers are a class of compounds that contain an ether group—a single oxygen atom bonded to two separate carbon atoms, each part of an organyl group (e.g., alkyl or aryl). They have the general formula R−O−R′, where R and R′ represent the organyl groups.

9. Benzilic acid rearrangement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzilic_acid_rearrangement

   The benzilic acid rearrangement is formally the 1,2-rearrangement of 1,2-diketones to form α-hydroxy–carboxylic acids using a base.This reaction receives its name from the reaction of benzil with potassium hydroxide to form benzilic acid.
