  2. SNi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNi

    In chemistry, S N i (substitution nucleophilic internal) refers to a specific, regio-selective but not often encountered reaction mechanism for nucleophilic aliphatic substitution. The name was introduced by Cowdrey et al. in 1937 to label nucleophilic reactions which occur with retention of configuration, [ 1 ] but later was employed to ...

  3. Kovats retention index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovats_retention_index

    While retention times vary with the individual chromatographic system (e.g. with regards to column length, film thickness, diameter and inlet pressure), the derived retention indices are quite independent of these parameters and allow comparing values measured by different analytical laboratories under varying conditions and analysis times from ...

  4. Walden inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden_inversion

    Walden inversion is the inversion of a stereogenic center in a chiral molecule in a chemical reaction. Since a molecule can form two enantiomers around a stereogenic center, the Walden inversion converts the configuration of the molecule from one enantiomeric form to the other.

  5. Chiral inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral_inversion

    Chiral inversion is the process of conversion of one enantiomer of a chiral molecule to its mirror-image version with no other change in the molecule. [1] [2] [3] [4]Chiral inversion happens depending on various factors (viz. biological-, solvent-, light-, temperature- induced, etc.) and the energy barrier energy barrier associated with the stereogenic element present in the chiral molecule. 2 ...

  6. Pyramidal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_inversion

    Pyramidal inversion in nitrogen and amines is known as nitrogen inversion. [8] It is a rapid oscillation of the nitrogen atom and substituents, the nitrogen "moving" through the plane formed by the substituents (although the substituents also move - in the other direction); [ 9 ] the molecule passing through a planar transition state . [ 10 ]

  7. Baldwin's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin's_rules

    The rules apply when the nucleophile can attack the bond in question in an ideal angle. These angles are 180° (Walden inversion) for exo-tet reactions, 109° (Bürgi–Dunitz angle) for exo-trig reaction and 120° for endo-dig reactions. Angles for nucleophilic attack on alkynes were reviewed and redefined recently. [4]

  8. Woodward–Hoffmann rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward–Hoffmann_rules

    Thermolysis converts 1 to (E,E) geometric isomer 2, but 3 to (E,Z) isomer 4.. The Woodward–Hoffmann rules (or the pericyclic selection rules) [1] are a set of rules devised by Robert Burns Woodward and Roald Hoffmann to rationalize or predict certain aspects of the stereochemistry and activation energy of pericyclic reactions, an important class of reactions in organic chemistry.

  9. Tsuji–Trost reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuji–Trost_reaction

    This inversion in conjunction with the inversion in stereochemistry associated with the oxidative addition of palladium yields a net retention of stereochemistry. Unstabilized or "hard" nucleophiles, on the other hand, retain the stereochemistry of the π -allyl complex, resulting in a net inversion of stereochemistry.
