  2. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound. It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [ 1 ]

  3. 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.

  4. Diazo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazo

    Diazo compounds have two main Lewis structures in resonance: R 2 >C − –N + ≡N and R 2 >CH=N + =N −. In organic chemistry, the diazo group is an organic moiety consisting of two linked nitrogen atoms at the terminal position.

  5. Nitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO 2.One of several nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas.It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C 2v point group symmetry.

  6. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    Chloramphenicol is a rare example of a naturally occurring nitro compound. At least some naturally occurring nitro groups arose by the oxidation of amino groups. [17] 2-Nitrophenol is an aggregation pheromone of ticks. Examples of nitro compounds are rare in nature. 3-Nitropropionic acid found in fungi and plants .

  7. Electron-withdrawing group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-withdrawing_group

    For example, Tetracyanoethylene serves as an oxidant due to its attachment to four cyano substituents, which are electron-withdrawing groups. [5] Oxidants with EWGs are stronger than the parent compound. Acetylferrocenium is 300 mV more oxidizing than ferrocene. [citation needed]

  8. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

    Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide [1]) is a colorless gas with the formula NO.It is one of the principal oxides of nitrogen.Nitric oxide is a free radical: it has an unpaired electron, which is sometimes denoted by a dot in its chemical formula (• N=O or • NO).

    For example, the image below shows the addition of ethylmagnesium bromide to ethyl sorbate 1 using a copper catalyst with a reversed josiphos (R,S)-(–)-3 ligand. [35] This reaction produced the 1,6-addition product 2 in 0% yield, the 1,6-addition product 3 in approximately 99% yield, and the 1,4-addition product 4 in less than 2% yield.
