  2. Benzyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_group

    Benzyl is not to be confused with phenyl with the formula C 6 H 5. The term benzylic is used to describe the position of the first carbon bonded to a benzene or other aromatic ring. For example, (C 6 H 5)(CH 3) 2 C + is referred to as a "benzylic" carbocation. The benzyl free radical has the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 •.

  3. Dehalogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehalogenation

    [4] [5] [6] Sodium metal has been used for dehalogenation process. [7] [8] Removal of halogen atom from arene-halides in the presence of Grignard agent and water for the formation of new compound is known as Grignard degradation. Dehalogenation using Grignard reagents is a two steps hydrodehalogenation process.

  4. Protecting group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_group

    For example, the amino acid tyrosine could be protected as a benzyl ester on the carboxyl group, a fluorenylmethylenoxy carbamate on the amine group, and a tert-butyl ether on the phenol group. The benzyl ester can be removed by hydrogenolysis, the fluorenylmethylenoxy group (Fmoc) by bases (such as piperidine), and the phenolic tert-butyl ...

  5. Benzylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzylamine

    Benzylamine, also known as phenylmethylamine, is an organic chemical compound with the condensed structural formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 NH 2 (sometimes abbreviated as PhCH 2 NH 2 or BnNH 2).It consists of a benzyl group, C 6 H 5 CH 2, attached to an amine functional group, NH 2.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation

    Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO 2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO 2 to a

  8. Transesterification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification

    Transesterification is the process of exchanging the organic functional group R″ of an ester with the organic group R' of an alcohol. These reactions are often catalyzed by the addition of an acid or base catalyst. [1] Strong acids catalyze the reaction by donating a proton to the carbonyl group, thus making it a more potent electrophile.

  9. Benzilic acid rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzilic_acid_rearrangement

    First performed by Justus von Liebig in 1838, [1] it is the first reported example of a rearrangement reaction. [2] It has become a classic reaction in organic synthesis and has been reviewed many times before. [3] [4] [5] It can be viewed as an intramolecular redox reaction, as one carbon center is oxidized while the other is reduced. Scheme 1.
