  2. Piperidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperidine

    anticholinergic chemical weapons. Ditran; N-Methyl-3-piperidyl benzilate (JB-336, BZ) Piperidine is also commonly used in chemical degradation reactions, such as the sequencing of DNA in the cleavage of particular modified nucleotides. Piperidine is also commonly used as a base for the deprotection of Fmoc-amino acids used in solid-phase ...

  3. Piperine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperine

    Piperidine, a cyclic six-membered amine that results from hydrolysis of piperine; Piperic acid, the carboxylic acid also derived from hydrolysis of piperine; Capsaicin, the active piquant chemical in chili peppers; Allyl isothiocyanate, the active piquant chemical in mustard, radishes, horseradish, and wasabi

  4. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    Strongly polar compounds like sugars (e.g. sucrose) or ionic compounds, like inorganic salts (e.g. table salt) dissolve only in very polar solvents like water, while strongly non-polar compounds like oils or waxes dissolve only in very non-polar organic solvents like hexane. Similarly, water and hexane (or vinegar and vegetable oil) are not ...

  5. Hydrophobic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_effect

    [1] [2] The word hydrophobic literally means "water-fearing", and it describes the segregation of water and nonpolar substances, which maximizes the entropy of water and minimizes the area of contact between water and nonpolar molecules. In terms of thermodynamics, the hydrophobic effect is the free energy change of water surrounding a solute. [3]

  6. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The most volatile chemical condense at the top of the column while the least volatile chemicals to vaporize condense in the lowest portion. [1] The difference in volatility between water and ethanol has long been used to produce concentrated alcoholic beverages (many of these are referred to as "liquors"). In order to increase the concentration ...

  7. Icaridin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icaridin

    The chemical is part of the piperidine family, [1] along with many pharmaceuticals and alkaloids such as piperine, which gives black pepper its spicy taste. Trade names include Bayrepel and Saltidin among others. The compound was developed by the German chemical company Bayer in the 1980s [6] and was given the name Bayrepel.

  8. Pyridine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridine

    Pyridine is a basic heterocyclic organic compound with the chemical formula C 5 H 5 N. It is structurally related to benzene, with one methine group (=CH−) replaced by a nitrogen atom (=N−). It is a highly flammable, weakly alkaline, water-miscible liquid with a distinctive, unpleasant fish

  9. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like...

    The same features causing persistence of dioxins in the environment also cause very slow elimination in humans and animals. Because of low water solubility, kidneys cannot excrete them in urine as such. They must first be metabolised to more-water-soluble metabolites, but that metabolism, especially in humans, is extremely slow.
