Oxygen and the organic phase react under formation of the anthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide. Among other alkyl groups (R) ethyl-and tert-butyl-are used, e.g., 2-ethylanthraquinone. [2] [3] The hydrogen peroxide is then extracted with water and in a second step separated by fractional distillation from the water. The hydrogen peroxide ...
In organic synthesis, the complex diethylaniline·borane (DEANB) is used as a reducing agent. [4] Diethylaniline and dimethylaniline are both used as acid-absorbing bases. The advantage to the diethyl derivative is that [C 6 H 5 NEt 2 H]Cl is non-hygroscopic, in contrast to [C 6 H 5 NMe 2 H]Cl. [5]
The diazomethane is required in excess so as to react with the HCl formed previously. [2] Not taking diazomethane in excess results in HCl reacting with the diazoketone to form chloromethyl ketone and N 2. Mild conditions allow this reaction to take place while not affecting complex or reducible groups in the reactant-acid. [3]
The reaction of quadricyclane with DEAD is a 2σ + 2σ + 2π cycloaddition that on water takes place within 10 minutes at room temperature with 82% yield. The same reaction in toluene takes 24 hours at 80 °C with 70% yield. An emulsion reaction in fluorinated cyclohexane takes 36 hours and the neat reaction takes even longer (48 hours).
Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CO) 2 O. Commonly abbreviated Ac 2 O, it is the simplest isolable anhydride of a carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is a colorless liquid that smells strongly of acetic acid, which is formed by its reaction with ...
The Weiss–Cook reaction consists in the synthesis of cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione employing an acetonedicarboxylic acid ester and a diacyl (1,2 ketone). The mechanism operates in the same way as the Knoevenagel condensation: [ 10 ]
The Gould reaction is also used to convert 5-aminoindole to quinolines for the purpose of synthesizing pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinolin-3-one derivatives as modified pyrazoloquinolinone analogs. These compounds have the potential to act as antagonists at central benzodiazepine receptors (BZRs) in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
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.
