  2. Ring-opening metathesis polymerisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-opening_metathesis...

    The mechanism of homogeneous ring-opening metathesis polymerization is well-studied. It is similar to any olefin metathesis reaction. Initiation occurs by forming an open coordination site on the catalyst. Propagation happens via a metallacycle intermediate formed after a 2+2 cycloaddition. When using a G3 catalyst, 2+2 cycloaddition is the ...

  3. Toluene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluene

    Toluene is also found in cigarette smoke and car exhaust. If not in contact with air, toluene can remain unchanged in soil or water for a long time. [39] Toluene is a common solvent, e.g. for paints, paint thinners, silicone sealants, [40] many chemical reactants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives (glues), lacquers, leather tanners, and ...

  4. Ring-closing metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-closing_metathesis

    Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a widely used variation of olefin metathesis in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various unsaturated rings via the intramolecular metathesis of two terminal alkenes, which forms the cycloalkene as the E-or Z-isomers and volatile ethylene.

  5. Toluene toxicity - Wikipedia

    The first four seem to be involved in the hydroxylation of toluene to benzyl alcohol. CYP2E1 seems to be the primary enzyme in the hydroxylation of toluene, accounting for roughly 44% of toluene metabolism; [1] however, there is a great deal of ethnic variability, in the Finnish population for example the primary enzyme is CYP2B6.

    The ring bears two substituents: ... Production and reactions. Ethyltoluenes are prepared by alkylation of toluene with ethylene:

  7. Ring expansion and contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_expansion_and_contraction

    Ring expansions can allow access to larger systems that can be difficult to synthesize otherwise. [6] Rings can be expanded by attack of the ring onto an outside group already appended to the ring (a migration/insertion), opening of a bicycle to a single larger ring, or coupling a ring closing with an expansion. [1]

  8. Ring forming reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_forming_reaction

    A ring forming reaction or ring-closing reaction in organic chemistry is an umbrella term for a variety of reactions that introduce one or more rings into a molecule. A heterocycle forming reaction is a reaction that introduces a new heterocycle. [1] [2] Important classes of ring forming reactions include annulations [3] and cycloadditions ...

  9. Food chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chemistry

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.
