  2. Haloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloalkane

    Haloalkane or alkyl halides are the compounds which have the general formula "RX" where R is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group and X is a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I). Haloalkanes have been known for centuries. Chloroethane was produced in the 15th century. The systematic synthesis of such compounds developed in the 19th century in step with the ...

  3. Thiol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiol

    Thiol with a blue highlighted sulfhydryl group.. In organic chemistry, a thiol (/ ˈ θ aɪ ɒ l /; [1] from Ancient Greek θεῖον (theion) 'sulfur' [2]), or thiol derivative, is any organosulfur compound of the form R−SH, where R represents an alkyl or other organic substituent.

  4. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The attractive force draws molecules closer together and gives a real gas a tendency to occupy a smaller volume than an ideal gas. Which interaction is more important depends on temperature and pressure (see compressibility factor). In a gas, the distances between molecules are generally large, so intermolecular forces have only a small effect.

  5. 2-Chlorobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Chlorobutane

    Being an alkyl chloride, its boiling point varies depending on what kind of halide is attached and where it is attached. The boiling points of chlorides are lower than bromides or iodides due to the small size of chlorine relative to other halogens, and its weaker intermolecular forces.

  6. Intramolecular Heck reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramolecular_Heck_reaction

    Palladium alkyl intermediates generated after migratory insertion may undergo a second round of insertion in the presence of a second alkene (either intra- or intermolecular). [15] When dienes are involved in the intramolecular Heck reaction, insertion affords π-allylpalldium intermediates, which may be intercepted by nucleophiles .

  7. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    In other less formal contexts, an alcohol is often called with the name of the corresponding alkyl group followed by the word "alcohol", e.g., methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol. Propyl alcohol may be n-propyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, depending on whether the hydroxyl group is bonded to the end or middle carbon on the straight propane chain. As ...

  8. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    Alkyl groups that contain one ring have the formula −C n H 2n−1, e.g. cyclopropyl and cyclohexyl. The formula of alkyl radicals are the same as alkyl groups, except the free valence "−" is replaced by the dot "•" and adding "radical" to the name of the alkyl group (e.g. methyl radical •CH 3).

  9. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    In order for the S N 2 reaction to take place there must be a good leaving group which is strongly electronegative, commonly a halide. [4] In the Williamson ether reaction there is an alkoxide ion (RO −) which acts as the nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic carbon with the leaving group, which in most cases is an alkyl tosylate or an ...
