  2. Potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate

    5 c 6 h 5 ch 3 + 6 kmno 4 + 9 h 2 so 4 → 5 c 6 h 5 cooh + 14 h 2 o + 3 k 2 so 4 + 6 mnso 4 Glycols and polyols are highly reactive toward KMnO 4 . For example, addition of potassium permanganate to an aqueous solution of sugar and sodium hydroxide produces the chemical chameleon reaction, which involves dramatic color changes associated with ...

  3. Wolff–Kishner reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Kishner_reduction

    The final step of the Wolff–Kishner reduction is the collapse of the dimide anion 2 in the presence of a proton source to give the hydrocarbon via loss of dinitrogen to afford an alkyl anion 3, which undergoes rapid and irreversible acid-base reaction with solvent to give the alkane. Evidence for this high-energy intermediate was obtained by ...

  4. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    One family of Cr(VI) reagents employs the complex CrO 3 (pyridine) 2. [3] Sarett's reagent: a solution of CrO 3 (pyridine) 2 in pyridine. It was popularized for selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds. Collins reagent is a solution of the same CrO 3 (pyridine) 2 but in dichloromethane. The Ratcliffe variant ...

  5. Carbonyl oxidation with hypervalent iodine reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_oxidation_with...

    A key iodine(III) enolate intermediate forms, which then undergoes either nucleophilic substitution (α-functionalization), elimination (dehydrogenation), or rearrangement. Common hypervalent iodine reagents used to effect these transformations include iodosylbenzene (PhIO), [1] Koser's reagent (PhI(OTs)OH), [1] and (dichloroiodo)benzene (PhICl ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkylbenzene

    Friedel-Crafts alkylation: alkylbenzenes can be synthesized from olefins or alkyl halides with aromatic compounds in the presence of a catalyst such as AlCl 3, HF, or H 2 SO 4. [ 4 ] Gattermann-Koch reaction : named after German chemists Ludwig Gattermann and Julius Arnold Koch , the Gattermann-Koch reaction is a catalyzed formylation of ...

  7. 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. First performed by Justus von Liebig in 1838, [1] it is the first reported example of a rearrangement ...

  8. Cannizzaro reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannizzaro_reaction

    2 C 6 H 5 CHO + KOH → C 6 H 5 CH 2 OH + C 6 H 5 COOK. The process is a redox reaction involving transfer of a hydride from one substrate molecule to the other: one aldehyde is oxidized to form the acid, the other is reduced to form the alcohol. [3]

  9. Acetophenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetophenone

    In instructional laboratories, [5] acetophenone is converted to styrene in a two-step process that illustrates the reduction of carbonyls using sodium borohydride and the dehydration of alcohols: 4 C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 3 + NaBH 4 + 4 H 2 O → 4 C 6 H 5 CH(OH)CH 3 + NaOH + B(OH) 3 C 6 H 5 CH(OH)CH 3 → C 6 H 5 CH=CH 2 + H 2 O
