  2. Ring-closing metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-closing_metathesis

    Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a widely used variation of olefin metathesis in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various unsaturated rings via the intramolecular metathesis of two terminal alkenes, which forms the cycloalkene as the E-or Z-isomers and volatile ethylene.

  3. Toluene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluene

    Toluene is also found in cigarette smoke and car exhaust. If not in contact with air, toluene can remain unchanged in soil or water for a long time. [39] Toluene is a common solvent, e.g. for paints, paint thinners, silicone sealants, [40] many chemical reactants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives (glues), lacquers, leather tanners, and ...

  4. Ring-opening metathesis polymerisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-opening_metathesis...

    The mechanism of homogeneous ring-opening metathesis polymerization is well-studied. It is similar to any olefin metathesis reaction. Initiation occurs by forming an open coordination site on the catalyst. Propagation happens via a metallacycle intermediate formed after a 2+2 cycloaddition. When using a G3 catalyst, 2+2 cycloaddition is the ...

  5. Food physical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_physical_chemistry

    Because food science is a multi-disciplinary field, food physical chemistry is being developed through interactions with other areas of food chemistry and food science, such as food analytical chemistry, food process engineering/food processing, food and bioprocess technology, food extrusion, food quality control, food packaging, food ...

  6. Ring forming reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_forming_reaction

    A ring forming reaction or ring-closing reaction in organic chemistry is an umbrella term for a variety of reactions that introduce one or more rings into a molecule. A heterocycle forming reaction is a reaction that introduces a new heterocycle. [1] [2] Important classes of ring forming reactions include annulations [3] and cycloadditions ...

  7. Radical polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_polymerization

    In general, the polymerization is an exothermic process, i.e. negative enthalpy change, since addition of a monomer to the growing polymer chain involves the conversion of π bonds into σ bonds, or a ring–opening reaction that releases the ring tension in a cyclic monomer.

  8. Food chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chemistry

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.

  9. Aromatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_compound

    Heteroarenes are aromatic compounds, where at least one methine or vinylene (-C= or -CH=CH-) group is replaced by a heteroatom: oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. [3] Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one ...
