Addition reaction
An addition reaction, in organic chemistry, is in its simplest terms an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one.
- Noncovalent solid-phase organic synthesis
- Noncovalent solid-phase organic synthesis or NC-SPOS is a form of Solid-phase synthesis whereby the organic substrate is bonded to the solid phase not by a covalent bond but by other chemical interactions. This bond may consist of an induced dipole
- AD-mix
- In organic chemistry, AD-mix is a commercially available mixture of reagents that acts as an asymmetric catalyst for various chemical reactions, including the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of alkenes. The two letters AD, stand for asymmetric
- Boord olefin synthesis
- The Boord olefin synthesis is an organic reaction forming alkenes from ethers carrying a halogen atom 2 carbons removed from the oxygen atom (β-halo-ethers) using a metal such as magnesium or zinc. The reaction, discovered by Cecil E. Boord in 1930 is a
- Push–pull olefin
- A push-pull olefin is a type of olefin characterized by an electron-withdrawing substituent on one side of the double bond and an electron-donating substituent on the other side. This makes the pi bond very polarized. The rotational barrier for a push
- Whiting reaction
- The Whiting reaction is an organic reaction converting a propargyl diol into a diene using lithium aluminium hydride
- Chan rearrangement
- The Chan rearrangement is a chemical reaction that involves rearranging an acyloxy acetate (1) in the presence of a strong base to a 2-hydroxy-3-keto-ester (2
- Hydrodefluorination
- Hydrodefluorination (HDF) is a type of organic reaction in which in a substrate of a carbon–fluorine bond is replaced by a carbon–hydrogen bond. The topic is of some interest to scientific research. In one general strategy for the synthesis of
- Dearomatization reaction
- A dearomatization reaction is an organic reaction which involves arenes as reactants and in which the reaction products have permanently lost their aromaticity. This reaction type is of some importance in synthetic organic chemistry for the organic
- Criegee rearrangement
- The Criegee rearrangement is a rearrangement reaction named after Rudolf Criegee
- Diminish and Ascend
- Diminish And Ascend is a welded aluminum stairway sculpture by David McCracken. It is permanently installed in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens in New Zealand. The sculpture is an optical illusion
