  2. 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 ...

  3. 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/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

  5. Benzonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzonitrile

    It reacts with amines to afford N-substituted benzamides after hydrolysis. [3] It is a precursor to diphenylmethanimine via reaction with phenylmagnesium bromide followed by methanolysis. [4] Benzonitrile forms coordination complexes with transition metals that are both soluble in organic solvents and conveniently labile. One example is PdCl 2 ...

  8. tert-Butylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butylbenzene

    tert-Butylbenzene can be produced by the treatment of benzene with isobutene [1] or by the reaction of benzene with tert-butyl chloride in presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride, [2] the latter is depicted below:

  9. Dihydroxybenzenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxybenzenes

    There are three structural isomers: 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (the ortho isomer) is commonly known as catechol, 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (the meta isomer) is commonly known as resorcinol, and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (the para isomer) is commonly known as hydroquinone. [1]
