  2. Dow process (phenol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_process_(phenol)

    When 1-[14 C]-1-chlorobenzene was subjected to aqueous NaOH at 395 °C, ipso substitution product 1-[14 C]-phenol was formed in 54% yield, while cine substitution product 2-[14 C]-phenol was formed in 43% yield, indicating that an elimination-addition (benzyne) mechanism is predominant, with perhaps a small amount of product from addition ...

  3. Oxidative coupling of phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_coupling_of_phenols

    The reaction is attractive for their atom economy because it avoid pre-functionalized starting materials often required in traditional redox-neutral cross-couplings. Oxidative phenol couplings, however, often suffer from over-oxidation, especially since the intended coupled product is more oxidizable (has a lower oxidation potential ) than the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raschig–Hooker_process

    [6] [7] Due to the two step nature, the Raschig–Hooker process can be used to produce either chlorobenzene or phenol. Reaction scheme of the Raschig-Hooker process. The Raschig–Hooker process's ability to make phenol makes it comparable to other methods, such as the Dow and Bayer process, which also converts benzene into phenol. In fact ...

  5. Electrophilic halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_halogenation

    Here is the mechanism of this reaction: The mechanism for bromination of benzene. The mechanism for iodination is slightly different: iodine (I 2) is treated with an oxidizing agent such as nitric acid to obtain the electrophilic iodine ("I +", probably IONO 2). Other conditions for iodination include I 2, HIO 3, H 2 SO 4, and N-iodosuccinimide ...

    The reaction was implemented mid-synthesis, forming an sp 3-sp 2 c-c bond between β,γ-unsaturated ester and an intermediate diene 4 with a 78% yield of product 5. Somfai completed the stereoselective total synthesis of (−)-stemoamide in 12-steps with a 20% overall yield.

  7. Phenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol

    Phenol (also known as carbolic acid, phenolic acid, or benzenol) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 5 OH. [5] It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile . The molecule consists of a phenyl group ( −C 6 H 5 ) bonded to a hydroxy group ( −OH ).

  8. Hammett equation - Wikipedia

    The archetypal reaction is the alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate (R=R'=H) in a water/ethanol mixture at 30 °C. Measurement of the reaction rate k 0 combined with that of many substituted ethyl benzoates ultimately result in a reaction constant of +2.498.

  9. Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meerwein–Ponndorf...

    Each step in the cycle is reversible. The reaction is driven by the thermodynamic properties of the intermediates and the products. Several other mechanisms have been proposed for this reaction, including a radical mechanism as well as a mechanism involving an aluminium hydride species.
