  2. Electrophilic halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_halogenation

    In organic chemistry, an electrophilic aromatic halogenation is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution. This organic reaction is typical of aromatic compounds and a very useful method for adding substituents to an aromatic system. A few types of aromatic compounds, such as phenol, will react without a catalyst, but for typical benzene ...

  3. Halogen addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_addition_reaction

    A halogen addition reaction is a simple organic reaction where a halogen molecule is added to the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene functional group. [1] The general chemical formula of the halogen addition reaction is: C=C + X 2 → X−C−C−X. (X represents the halogens bromine or chlorine, and in this case, a solvent could be CH 2 ...

  4. Sandmeyer reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandmeyer_reaction

    RXNO:0000021. The Sandmeyer reaction is a chemical reaction used to synthesize aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts using copper salts as reagents or catalysts. [1][2][3][4] It is an example of a radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The Sandmeyer reaction provides a method through which one can perform unique transformations on benzene ...

  5. Electrophilic substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_substitution

    The four possible electrophilic aliphatic substitution reaction mechanisms are S E 1, S E 2(front), S E 2(back) and S E i (Substitution Electrophilic), which are also similar to the nucleophile counterparts S N 1 and S N 2. In the S E 1 course of action the substrate first ionizes into a carbanion and a positively charged organic residue. The ...

  6. Wohl–Ziegler bromination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wohl–Ziegler_bromination

    The Wohl–Ziegler reaction[1][2] is a chemical reaction that involves the allylic or benzylic bromination of hydrocarbons using an N -bromosuccinimide and a radical initiator. [3] Best yields are achieved with N -bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride solvent. Several reviews have been published. [4][5]

  7. Friedel–Crafts reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedel–Crafts_reaction

    In commercial applications, the alkylating agents are generally alkenes, some of the largest scale reactions practiced in industry.Such alkylations are of major industrial importance, e.g. for the production of ethylbenzene, the precursor to polystyrene, from benzene and ethylene and for the production of cumene from benzene and propene in cumene process:

  8. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    In organic chemistry, free-radical halogenation is a type of halogenation. This chemical reaction is typical of alkanes and alkyl-substituted aromatics under application of UV light. The reaction is used for the industrial synthesis of chloroform (CHCl 3), dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2), and hexachlorobutadiene. It proceeds by a free-radical chain ...

  9. Chain-growth polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-growth_polymerization

    t. e. Chain-growth polymerization (AE) or chain-growth polymerisation (BE) is a polymerization technique where monomer molecules add onto the active site on a growing polymer chain one at a time. [1] There are a limited number of these active sites at any moment during the polymerization which gives this method its key characteristics.
