  2. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    Depending on the product structure, it could promptly react further to eject a leaving group to give the addition–elimination reaction sequence. Addition reactions are useful in analytic chemistry, as they can identify the existence and number of double bonds in a molecule. For example, bromine addition will consume a bromine solution ...

  3. Reductive elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_elimination

    Reductive elimination is an elementary step in organometallic chemistry in which the oxidation state of the metal center decreases while forming a new covalent bond between two ligands. It is the microscopic reverse of oxidative addition, and is often the product-forming step in many catalytic processes. Since oxidative addition and reductive ...

  4. Integration by reduction formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_reduction...

    The main idea is to express an integral involving an integer parameter (e.g. power) of a function, represented by I n, in terms of an integral that involves a lower value of the parameter (lower power) of that function, for example I n-1 or I n-2. This makes the reduction formula a type of recurrence relation. In other words, the reduction ...

  5. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step (RDS or RD-step [1] or r/d step [2] [3]) or rate-limiting step. For a given reaction mechanism, the prediction of the corresponding rate equation (for comparison with the experimental rate law) is often ...

  6. Michael addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Addition_Reaction

    This reaction produced the 1,6-addition product 2 in 0% yield, the 1,6-addition product 3 in approximately 99% yield, and the 1,4-addition product 4 in less than 2% yield. This particular catalyst and set of reaction conditions led to the mostly regioselective and enantioselective 1,6-Michael addition of ethyl sorbate 1 to product 3 .

  7. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps, the so-called elementary reactions, and the information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism. Chemical reactions are described with chemical equations , which symbolically present the starting materials, end products, and sometimes intermediate products ...

  8. Chain-growth polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-growth_polymerization

    In contrast step-growth polymerization involves only one type of step, and macromolecules can grow by reaction steps between any two molecular species: two monomers, a monomer and a growing chain, or two growing chains. [17] In step growth, the monomers will initially form dimers, trimers, etc. which later react to form long chain polymers.

  9. Stephen aldehyde synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_aldehyde_synthesis

    This reaction involves the preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R-CN) using tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and quenching the resulting iminium salt ([R-CH=NH 2] + Cl −) with water (H 2 O). [1] [2] During the synthesis, ammonium chloride is also produced. It is a type of nucleophilic addition reaction. Stephen ...
