  2. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    When a carbohydrate is broken into its component sugar molecules by hydrolysis (e.g., sucrose being broken down into glucose and fructose), this is recognized as saccharification. [2] Hydrolysis reactions can be the reverse of a condensation reaction in which two molecules join into a larger one and eject a water molecule. Thus hydrolysis adds ...

  3. Stieglitz rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stieglitz_rearrangement

    The Stieglitz rearrangement of azides generally profits from a protonic [16] or thermal [4] activation, which can also be combined. [10] In both cases, molecular nitrogen is set free as a gas in an irreversible step. It has been suggested that the rearrangement, after the dissociation of the N 2 molecule, proceeds over a reactive nitrene ...

  4. Beckmann rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckmann_rearrangement

    The rearrangement of acetone oxime in the Beckmann solution involved three acetic acid molecules and one proton (present as an oxonium ion). In the transition state leading to the iminium ion (σ-complex), the methyl group migrates to the nitrogen atom in a concerted reaction as the hydroxyl group is expelled.

  5. Rearrangement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rearrangement_reaction

    A 1,2-rearrangement is an organic reaction where a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in a chemical compound. In a 1,2 shift the movement involves two adjacent atoms but moves over larger distances are possible. Skeletal isomerization is not normally encountered in the laboratory, but is the basis of large applications in oil ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_gastronomy

    It is a branch of food science that approaches the preparation and enjoyment of nutrition from the perspective of a scientist at the scale of atoms, molecules, and mixtures. A molecular gastronomy dessert served with liquid nitrogen

  7. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Cyclic rearrangements include cycloadditions and, more generally, pericyclic reactions, wherein two or more double bond-containing molecules form a cyclic molecule. An important example of cycloaddition reaction is the Diels–Alder reaction (the so-called [4+2] cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene to form a ...

  8. Fries rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fries_rearrangement

    The photo-Fries rearrangement can likewise give [1,3] and [1,5] products, [7] [8] which involves a radical reaction mechanism. This reaction is also possible with deactivating substituents on the aromatic group.

  9. Leidenfrost effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Leidenfrost droplet Demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect Leidenfrost effect of a single drop of water. The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.
