  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. Mitsunobu reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsunobu_reaction

    The reaction mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction is fairly complex. The identity of intermediates and the roles they play has been the subject of debate. Initially, the triphenyl phosphine (2) makes a nucleophilic attack upon diethyl azodicarboxylate (1) producing a betaine intermediate 3, which deprotonates the carboxylic acid (4) to form the ion pair 5.

  4. 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.

  5. Dess–Martin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dess–Martin_oxidation

    The Dess–Martin oxidation is an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones using Dess–Martin periodinane. [1] [2] It is named after the American chemists Daniel Benjamin Dess and James Cullen Martin who developed the periodinane reagent in 1983.

  6. Swern oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swern_oxidation

    In organic chemistry, the Swern oxidation, named after Daniel Swern, is a chemical reaction whereby a primary or secondary alcohol (−OH) is oxidized to an aldehyde (−CH=O) or ketone (>C=O) using oxalyl chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and an organic base, such as triethylamine.

  7. Krische allylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krische_allylation

    The Krische allylation involves the enantioselective iridium-catalyzed addition of an allyl group to an aldehyde or an alcohol, resulting in the formation of a secondary homoallylic alcohol. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The mechanism of the Krische allylation involves primary alcohol dehydrogenation or, when using aldehyde reactants, hydrogen transfer from 2 ...

  8. Silylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silylation

    The products after silylation, namely silyl ethers and silyl amines, are resilient toward basic conditions. [2] Protection is typically done by reacting the functional group with a silyl halide by an SN2 reaction mechanism, typically in the presence of base. [3] The protection mechanism begins with the base deprotonating the alcohol group.

  9. Albright–Goldman oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albright–Goldman_oxidation

    The following figure shows the reaction mechanism: [2] Reaktionsmechanismus Albright-Goldman-Oxidation. First, dimethyl sulfoxide (1) reacts with acetic anhydride to form a sulfonium ion. It reacts with the primary alcohol in an addition reaction. Furthermore, acetic acid is cleaved, so that intermediate 2 is formed. The latter reacts upon ...
