  2. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    For example, the synthesis of paracetamol typically requires three separate reactions. Divergent synthesis starts with a common intermediate, which branches into multiple final products through distinct reaction pathways. Convergent synthesis synthesis involves the combination of multiple intermediates synthesized independently to create a ...

  3. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    One example of a synthesis reaction is the combination of iron and sulfur to form iron(II) sulfide: + Another example is simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas to produce a more complex substance, such as water.

  4. Combinatorial chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_chemistry

    In the synthesis of a sublibrary the support is not divided and only one amino acid is coupled to the whole sample. As a result, one position is really occupied by the same amino acid in all components. For example, in the B2 sublibrary position 2 is occupied by the "yellow" amino acid in all the nine components.

  5. Cascade reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_reaction

    Cascade reactions are often key steps in the efficient total synthesis of complex natural products. The key step in Heathcock's synthesis of dihydroprotodaphniphylline features a highly efficient cascade involving two aldehyde/amine condensations, a Prins-like cyclization, and a 1,5-hydride transfer to afford a pentacyclic structure from an acyclic starting material.

  6. Strecker amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strecker_amino_acid_synthesis

    The Strecker amino acid synthesis, also known simply as the Strecker synthesis, is a method for the synthesis of amino acids by the reaction of an aldehyde with cyanide in the presence of ammonia. The condensation reaction yields an α-aminonitrile, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to give the desired amino acid.

  7. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction. [1]

  8. Henry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_reaction

    The first example of an enantioselective nitroaldol reaction was reported in 1992 using Shibasaki catalysts. [11] One of the most frequently employed methods for inducing enantio- or diastereoselectivity in the Henry reaction is the use of chiral metal catalysts, in which the nitro group and carbonyl oxygen coordinate to a metal that is bound ...

  9. Gattermann reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattermann_reaction

    The reaction can be simplified by replacing the HCN/AlCl 3 combination with zinc cyanide. [4] Although it is also highly toxic, Zn(CN) 2 is a solid, making it safer to work with than gaseous HCN. [5] The Zn(CN) 2 reacts with the HCl to form the key HCN reactant and Zn(Cl) 2 that serves as the Lewis-acid catalyst in-situ.
