    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-Pyrone

    4-Pyrone (γ-pyrone or pyran-4-one) is an unsaturated cyclic chemical compound with the molecular formula C 5 H 4 O 2.It is isomeric with 2-pyrone. Preparation [ edit ]

  3. Kojic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kojic_acid

    It is a derivative of 4-pyrone that functions in nature as a chelation agent produced by several species of fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae, which has the Japanese common name koji. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. [ 2 ]

  4. Pyran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyran

    In chemistry, pyran is a six-membered heterocyclic, non-aromatic ring, consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom and containing two double bonds. The molecular formula is C 5 H 6 O. There are two isomers of pyran that differ by the location of the double bonds.

  5. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    A classic example of NGP is the reaction of a sulfur or nitrogen mustard with a nucleophile, the rate of reaction is much higher for the sulfur mustard and a nucleophile than it would be for a primary or secondary alkyl chloride without a heteroatom. [5] Ph−S−CH 2 −CH 2 −Cl reacts with water 600 times faster than CH 3 −CH 2 −CH 2 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Heterocyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_compound

    Examples are borazine (B 3 N 3 ring), hexachlorophosphazenes (P 3 N 3 rings), and tetrasulfur tetranitride S 4 N 4. In comparison with organic heterocycles, which have numerous commercial applications, inorganic ring systems are mainly of theoretical interest.

  8. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    Some such structures may contain aromatic π-sextets, namely groups of six π-electrons localized in a benzene-like moiety and separated by adjacent rings through C–C bonds. An aromatic π-sextet can be represented by a circle, as in the case of the anthracene molecule (below). Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic ...

  9. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings. Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter — by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [ 1 ] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires .
