  2. Dehydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration_reaction

    The classic example of a dehydration reaction is the Fischer esterification, which involves treating a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to give an ester RCO 2 H + R′OH ⇌ RCO 2 R′ + H 2 O Often such reactions require the presence of a dehydrating agent, i.e. a substance that reacts with water.

  3. Burgess reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgess_reagent

    The Burgess reagent (methyl N-(triethylammoniumsulfonyl)carbamate) is a mild and selective dehydrating reagent often used in organic chemistry. [1] [2] It was developed in the laboratory of Edward M. Burgess at Georgia Tech. The Burgess reagent is used to convert secondary and tertiary alcohols with an adjacent proton into alkenes. Dehydration ...

  4. Work-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-up

    This dehydration reaction produces the desired alkene (3) from an alcohol (1). The reaction is performed in a distillation apparatus so the formed alkene product can be distilled off and collected as the reaction proceeds. The water produced by the reaction as well as some acid will co-distill, giving a distillate mixture (2).

  5. Shiina esterification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiina_Esterification

    In acidic Shiina esterification, Lewis acid catalysts are used, while nucleophilic catalysts are used for Shiina esterification under basic conditions. Shiina esterification using Lewis acid catalyst. In the acidic reaction, 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride (TFBA) is mainly used as a dehydration condensation agent.

  6. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    Reagents are known that drive the dehydration of mixtures of alcohols and carboxylic acids. One example is the Steglich esterification , which is a method of forming esters under mild conditions. The method is popular in peptide synthesis , where the substrates are sensitive to harsh conditions like high heat.

  7. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    Hydration is an important process in many other applications; one example is the production of Portland cement by the crosslinking of calcium oxides and silicates that is induced by water. Hydration is the process by which desiccants function. CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O is bright blue and has a rather different structure from its colourless anhydrous ...

  8. Condensation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_reaction

    Condensation reactions likely played major roles in the synthesis of the first biotic molecules including early peptides and nucleic acids.In fact, condensation reactions would be required at multiple steps in RNA oligomerization: the condensation of nucleobases and sugars, nucleoside phosphorylation, and nucleotide polymerization.

  9. 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 the hydroxyl group attaching to the less-substituted carbon.
