  2. Aromatization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatization

    The process, which is catalyzed by platinum supported by aluminium oxide, is exemplified in the conversion methylcyclohexane (a naphthene) into toluene (an aromatic). [2] Dehydrocyclization converts paraffins (acyclic hydrocarbons) into aromatics. [3] A related aromatization process includes dehydroisomerization of methylcyclopentane to benzene:

  3. Cyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentadiene

    Cyclopentadiene is a highly reactive diene in the Diels–Alder reaction because minimal distortion of the diene is required to achieve the envelope geometry of the transition state compared to other dienes. [11] Famously, cyclopentadiene dimerizes. The conversion occurs in hours at room temperature, but the monomer can be stored for days at ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)

    The USDA's food pyramid from 2005 to 2011, MyPyramid. The USDA food pyramid was created in 1992 and divided into six horizontal sections containing depictions of foods from each section's food group. It was updated in 2005 with black and white vertical wedges replacing the horizontal sections and renamed MyPyramid. MyPyramid was often displayed ...

  5. Pentamethylcyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentamethylcyclopentadiene

    1,2,3,4,5-Pentamethylcyclopentadiene is a cyclic diene with the formula C 5 (CH 3) 5 H, often written C 5 Me 5 H, where Me is CH 3. [3] It is a colorless liquid. [1]1,2,3,4,5-Pentamethylcyclopentadiene is the precursor to the ligand 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, which is often denoted Cp* (C 5 Me 5) and read as "C P star", the "star" signifying the five methyl groups radiating from ...

  6. Ecological pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid

    A pyramid of energy or pyramid of productivity shows the production or turnover (the rate at which energy or mass is transferred from one trophic level to the next) of biomass at each trophic level. Instead of showing a single snapshot in time, productivity pyramids show the flow of energy through the food chain .

  7. Sandmeyer reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandmeyer_reaction

    The Sandmeyer reaction can also be used to convert aryl amines to phenols proceeding through the formation of an aryl diazonium salt. In the presence of copper catalyst, such as copper(I) oxide , and an excess of copper(II) nitrate , this reaction takes place readily at room temperature neutral water. [ 28 ]

  8. 1,2,3,4,5-Pentakis (4-butylphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2,3,4,5-Pentakis(4-butyl...

    1,2,3,4,5-Pentakis(4-butylphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene is an organochemical compound from the diene group and a cyclopentadiene derivative. The anion of this compound is used as a sterically demanding ligand, often abbreviated as Cp [BIG] , in the organometallic chemistry of sandwich compounds .

  9. Alkyne trimerisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyne_trimerisation

    Such a benzene derivative reacts with 1,7-octadiyne in the presence of a suitable catalyst to generate a naphthalene system. [15] This is an example of a hexadehydro Diels–Alder reaction . Trimerisation of three 2-butyne (dimethylacetylene) molecules yields hexamethylbenzene . [ 16 ]
