  2. Koch reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_reaction

    The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes and carbon monoxide.Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid, 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid. [1]

  3. tert-Butyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_alcohol

    tert-Butyl alcohol is used as a solvent, ethanol denaturant, paint remover ingredient, and gasoline octane booster and oxygenate.It is a chemical intermediate used to produce methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) by reaction with methanol and ethanol, respectively, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) by reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Darzens halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darzens_halogenation

    Darzens halogenation is the chemical synthesis of alkyl halides from alcohols via the treatment upon reflux of a large excess of thionyl chloride or thionyl bromide (SOX 2) in the presence of a small amount of a nitrogen base, such as a tertiary amine or pyridine or its corresponding hydrochloride or hydrobromide salt.

  6. Babler oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babler_oxidation

    The Babler-Dauben oxidation of secondary allylic alcohols proves more difficult to control than that of tertiary analogues, as along with the desired product (a) a mixture with high proportion of side-products (b) and (c) is obtained: [1] Babler-Dauben oxidation of secondary alcohols and side-products

  7. Meyer–Schuster rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer–Schuster_rearrangement

    The reaction of tertiary alcohols containing an α-acetylenic group does not produce the expected aldehydes, but rather α,β-unsaturated methyl ketones via an enyne intermediate. [9] [10] This alternate reaction is called the Rupe reaction, and competes with the Meyer–Schuster rearrangement in the case of tertiary alcohols.

  8. Barbier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbier_reaction

    The reaction product is a primary, secondary or tertiary alcohol. The reaction is similar to the Grignard reaction but the crucial difference is that the organometallic species in the Barbier reaction is generated in situ, whereas a Grignard reagent is prepared separately before addition of the carbonyl compound. [1]

  9. Jones oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_oxidation

    Like conventional esters, the formation of this chromate ester is accelerated by the acid. These esters can be isolated when the alcohol is tertiary because these lack the α hydrogen that would be lost to form the carbonyl. For example, using tert-butyl alcohol, one can isolate tert-butyl chromate ((CH 3) 3 CO) 2 CrO 2), which is itself a good ...
