  2. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    The general chemical equation for the hydration of alkenes is the following: RRC=CH 2 + H 2 O → RRC(OH)-CH 3. A hydroxyl group (OH −) attaches to one carbon of the double bond, and a proton (H +) adds to the other. The reaction is highly exothermic. In the first step, the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton, following ...

  3. Oxymercuration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymercuration_reaction

    In organic chemistry, the oxymercuration reaction is an electrophilic addition reaction that transforms an alkene (R 2 C=CR 2) into a neutral alcohol. In oxymercuration, the alkene reacts with mercuric acetate (AcO−Hg−OAc) in aqueous solution to yield the addition of an acetoxymercury (−HgOAc) group and a hydroxy (−OH) group across the ...

  4. Hydroboration–oxidation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroboration–oxidation...

    Hydroboration–oxidation reaction is a two-step hydration reaction that converts an alkene into an alcohol. [1] The process results in the syn addition of a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group where the double bond had been. Hydroboration–oxidation is an anti-Markovnikov reaction, with

  5. Markovnikov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovnikov's_rule

    The same is true when an alkene reacts with water in an additional reaction to form an alcohol that involves carbocation formation. The hydroxyl group (OH) bonds to the carbon that has the greater number of carbon-carbon bonds, while the hydrogen bonds to the carbon on the other end of the double bond, that has more carbon–hydrogen bonds.

  6. Syn and anti addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syn_and_anti_addition

    In organic chemistry, syn-and anti-addition are different ways in which substituent molecules can be added to an alkene (R 2 C=CR 2) or alkyne (RC≡CR).The concepts of syn and anti addition are used to characterize the different reactions of organic chemistry by reflecting the stereochemistry of the products in a reaction.

  7. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The reaction is related to their dehydration, e.g. isobutylene from tert-butyl alcohol. A special kind of dehydration reaction involves triphenylmethanol and especially its amine-substituted derivatives. When treated with acid, these alcohols lose water to give stable carbocations, which are commercial dyes. [39]

  8. Click chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_chemistry

    For a reaction to be considered a click reaction, it must satisfy certain characteristics: [5] modularity; insensitivity to solvent parameters; high chemical yields; insensitivity towards oxygen and water; regiospecificity and stereospecificity; a large thermodynamic driving force (>20 kcal/mol) to favor a reaction with a single reaction ...

  9. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    The stronger the donation is, the stronger the back bonding from the metal d orbital to π* anti-bonding orbital of the alkene. This effect lowers the bond order of the alkene and increases the C-C bond length. One example is the complex PtCl 3 (C 2 H 4)] −. These complexes are related to the mechanisms of metal-catalyzed reactions of ...
