  2. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    The secondary functional groups are: a hydroxy- at carbon 5, a chloro- at carbon 11, a methoxy- at carbon 15, and a bromo- at carbon 18. Grouped with the side chains, this gives 18-bromo-12-butyl-11-chloro-4,8-diethyl-5-hydroxy-15-methoxy. There are two double bonds: one between carbons 6 and 7, and one between carbons 13 and 14.

  3. Methylene (compound) - Wikipedia

    [CH 2] 2• (X̃ 3 B 1) + H 2 O → [CH 3] • + [HO] • [CH 2] (ã 1 A 1) + H 2 O → H 2 CO + H 2 or H 3 COH. The singlet state is also more stereospecific than the triplet. [9] Methylene spontaneously autopolymerises to form various excited oligomers, the simplest of which, is the excited form of the alkene ethylene. The excited oligomers ...

  4. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [1] A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction. The detailed steps of a reaction are not observable in most cases ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Category. v. t. e. Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. [1] Study of structure determines their structural formula.

  6. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  7. Carbon–hydrogen bond activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond...

    In organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry, carbon–hydrogen bond activation (C−H activation) is a type of organic reaction in which a carbon–hydrogen bond is cleaved and replaced with a C−X bond (X ≠ H is typically a main group element, like carbon, oxygen, or nitrogen). Some authors further restrict the term C–H activation ...

  9. Reaction intermediate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_intermediate

    CH 2 CH 2 + HX → CH 2 CH + 3 + X − CH 2 CH + 3 + X − → CH 2 XCH 3. Similarly, in an H 2 O addition reaction, the pi bond of an alkene acts as a nucleophile and bonds with the proton of an [H 3 O] + molecule. This forms a carbocation intermediate (and an H 2 O atom); the oxygen atom of H 2 O then bonds with the positive carbon of the ...
