  2. Pinnick oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnick_Oxidation

    Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) can be used as HOCl scavenger whose byproducts do not interfere in the Pinnick oxidation reaction: HOCl + H 2 O 2 → HCl + O 2 + H 2 O. In a weakly acidic condition, fairly concentrated (35%) H 2 O 2 solution undergoes a rapid oxidative reaction with no competitive reduction reaction of HClO 2 to form HOCl. HClO 2 ...

  3. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.

  4. Bouveault–Blanc reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouveault–Blanc_reduction

    The reaction produces sodium alkoxides, according to the following stoichiometry: RCOOR' + 6 Na + 4 CH 3 CH 2 OH → RCH 2 ONa + R'ONa + 4 CH 3 CH 2 ONa. In practice, considerable sodium is consumed by the formation of hydrogen. [citation needed] For this reason, an excess of sodium is often required. Because the hydrolysis of sodium is rapid ...

  5. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    For example, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is a strong base. NaOH(aq) → Na + (aq) + OH − (aq) Therefore, when a strong acid reacts with a strong base the neutralization reaction can be written as H + + OH − → H 2 O. For example, in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide the sodium and chloride ions, Na + and Cl − take ...

  6. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    One workaround to avoid this method is to reduce the carboxylic acid derivative all the way down to an alcohol, then oxidize the alcohol back to an aldehyde. Other alternatives include forming a thioester or a Weinreb amide, then reducing the new species to an aldehyde through the Fukuyama reduction or Weinreb reaction respectively, or using ...

  7. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    The ion-permeable ion-exchange membrane at the center of the cell allows only the sodium ions (Na +) to pass to the second chamber where they react with the hydroxide ions to produce caustic soda (NaOH) (B in figure): [1] Na + + OH − → NaOH The overall reaction for the electrolysis of brine is thus: 2NaCl + 2 H 2 O → Cl 2 + H 2 + 2NaOH

  8. Equivalent (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_(chemistry)

    The solution has 1 mole or 1 equiv Na +, 1 mole or 2 equiv Ca 2+, and 3 mole or 3 equiv Cl −. An earlier definition, used especially for chemical elements , holds that an equivalent is the amount of a substance that will react with 1 g (0.035 oz) of hydrogen , 8 g (0.28 oz) of oxygen , or 35.5 g (1.25 oz) of chlorine —or that will displace ...

  9. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
