    the central organic synthesis reagent for hydroboration Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide: an organic compound; primary use is to couple amino acids during artificial peptide synthesis Diethyl azodicarboxylate: a valuable reagent but also quite dangerous and explodes upon heating Diethyl ether: organic compound; a common laboratory solvent Dihydropyran

  3. Oxygen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_compounds

    Most of the organic compounds that contain oxygen are not made by direct action of oxygen. Organic compounds important in industry and commerce are made by direct oxidation of a precursor include: [6] Ethylene oxide (used to make the antifreeze ethylene glycol) is obtained by direct oxidation of ethylene: C 2 H 4 + ½ O 2 + catalyst ...

  4. Organic peroxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_peroxides

    In general, energy content increases with active oxygen content, and thus the higher the molecular weight of the organic groups, the lower the energy content and, usually, the lower the hazard. The term active oxygen is used to specify the amount of peroxide present in any organic peroxide formulation. One of the oxygen atoms in each peroxide ...

  5. Organic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_compound

    The modern meaning of organic compound is any compound that contains a significant amount of carbon—even though many of the organic compounds known today have no connection to any substance found in living organisms. The term carbogenic has been proposed by E. J. Corey as a modern alternative to organic, but this neologism remains relatively ...

  6. List of esters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esters

    An ester of carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Synthetic organic chemistry is an applied science as it borders engineering, the "design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes". [28] Organic synthesis of a novel compound is a problem-solving task, where a synthesis is designed for a target molecule by selecting optimal reactions from optimal starting materials.
