  2. Mercury(II) sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury(II)_sulfate

    Conversion of 2,5-dimethylhexyne-2,5-diol to 2,2,5,5-tetramethylte-trahydrofuran-3-one. Mercury sulfate, as well as other mercury(II) compounds, are commonly used as catalysts in oxymercuration-demercuration, a type of electrophilic addition reaction that results in hydration of an unsaturated compound. The hydration of an alkene gives an alcohol.

  3. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    The determining factor when both S N 2 and S N 1 reaction mechanisms are viable is the strength of the Nucleophile. Nuclephilicity and basicity are linked and the more nucleophilic a molecule becomes the greater said nucleophile's basicity. This increase in basicity causes problems for S N 2 reaction mechanisms when the solvent of choice is protic.

  4. Seyferth–Gilbert homologation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seyferth–Gilbert...

    The Seyferth–Gilbert homologation is a chemical reaction of an aryl ketone 1 (or aldehyde) with dimethyl (diazomethyl)phosphonate 2 and potassium tert-butoxide to give substituted alkynes 3. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Dimethyl (diazomethyl)phosphonate 2 is often called the Seyferth–Gilbert reagent .

  5. Mercury (II) thiocyanate - Wikipedia

    The decomposition of Hg(SCN) 2 is exothermic on its own, and the CS 2 produced ignites easily and burns off. The C 3 N 4 product is a simplification; the actual product contains 0.5% hydrogen and is likely to consist of sheets of triazine rings linked by −N= and −NH− groups similar to g−C 3 N 4 and was found to contain nano-particles of ...

    Instead, the slow step involves two molecules of NO 2. A possible mechanism for the overall reaction that explains the rate law is: 2 NO 2 → NO 3 + NO (slow) NO 3 + CO → NO 2 + CO 2 (fast) Each step is called an elementary step, and each has its own rate law and molecularity. The sum of the elementary steps gives the net reaction.

    The general mechanism is further supported by List by the finding that in a reaction carried out in labeled water (H 2 18 O), the oxygen isotope finds its way into the reaction product. [25] The Hajos and Parrish experiment with a stoechiometric amount of labeled water (H 2 18 O) supported the carbinolamine mechanism. [2]

  8. Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner–Meerwein...

    A Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement is a class of carbocation 1,2-rearrangement reactions in which a hydrogen, alkyl or aryl group migrates from one carbon to a neighboring carbon. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They can be described as cationic [1,2]- sigmatropic rearrangements, proceeding suprafacially and with stereochemical retention.

  9. Fluorination with aminosulfuranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorination_with_amino...

    Fluorination with aminosulfuranes is a chemical reaction that transforms oxidized organic compounds into organofluorine compounds.Aminosulfuranes selectively exchange hydroxyl groups for fluorine, but are also capable of converting carbonyl groups, halides, silyl ethers, and other functionality into organofluorides.
