    In the compound on the left, the base value is 214 nm (a heteroannular diene). This diene group has 4 alkyl substituents (labeled 1,2,3,4) and the double bond in one ring is exocyclic to the other (adding 5 nm for an exocyclic double bond). In the compound on the right, the diene is homoannular with 4 alkyl substituents.

  3. HPSCHD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPSCHD

    HPSCHD is composed of 7 solo pieces for harpsichord and 52 computer-generated tapes. The harpsichord solos were created from randomly processed pieces by Mozart , Beethoven , Chopin , Schumann , Gottschalk , Busoni , Schoenberg , Cage and Hiller, rewritten using a FORTRAN computer program designed by Ed Kobrin based on the I Ching hexagrams.

  4. Conjugated system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_system

    Cinnamaldehyde is a naturally-occurring compound that has a conjugated system penta-1,3-diene is a molecule with a conjugated system Diazomethane conjugated pi-system. In theoretical chemistry, a conjugated system is a system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, which in general lowers the overall energy of the molecule and increases stability.

  5. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    When a nucleophile adds to a conjugated carbonyl system, the result is a 1,4-addition. The designations 1,2 and 1,4 are derived from numbering the atoms of the starting compound where the oxygen is labeled “1” and each atom adjacent to the oxygen are sequentially numbered out to the site of nucleophilic addition.

  6. Diels–Alder reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diels–Alder_reaction

    In 1910, Sergey Lebedev systematically investigated thermal polymerization of three conjugated dienes (butadiene, isoprene and dimethylbutadiene), a process now recognized as a Diels-Alder self-reaction, providing a detailed analysis of the dimerization products and recognizing the importance of the conjugated system in the process. [69]

  7. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  8. Cope rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cope_rearrangement

    In the case of hexa-1,5-diene, the rearrangement is degenerate (the product is identical to the starting material), so K = 1 by necessity. In asymmetric dienes one often needs to consider the stereochemistry, which in the case of pericyclic reactions, such as the Cope rearrangement, can be predicted with the Woodward–Hoffmann rules and ...

  9. Spinet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinet

    The disadvantage of the paired design is that it generally limits the spinet to a single choir of strings, at eight-foot pitch, although a double-strung spinet by John Player is known. [1] In a full-size harpsichord, the registers that guide the jacks can be shifted slightly to one side, permitting the player to control whether or not that ...
