Allyl Compounds
In organic chemistry, an allyl group is a substituent with the structural formula . It consists of a methylene bridge () attached to a vinyl group (). The name is derived from the scientific name for garlic, . In 1844, Theodor Wertheim isolated an allyl derivative from garlic oil and named it "". The term allyl applies to many compounds related to , some of which are of practical or of everyday importance, for example, allyl chloride. Allylation is any chemical reaction that adds an allyl group to a Substrate (chemistry), substrate. Nomenclature A site adjacent to the unsaturated carbon atom is called the allylic position or allylic site. A group attached at this site is sometimes described as allylic. Thus, "has an allylic hydroxyl group". Allylic Carbon–hydrogen bond, C−H bonds are about 15% weaker than the C−H bonds in ordinary Orbital hybridisation, sp3 carbon centers and are thus more reactive. Benzylic and allylic are related in terms of structure, bond strength ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jasmonate
Jasmonate (JA) and its derivatives are lipid-based plant hormones that regulate a wide range of processes in plants, ranging from growth and photosynthesis to reproductive development. In particular, JAs are critical for plant defense against herbivory and plant responses to poor environmental conditions and other kinds of abiotic and biotic challenges. Some JAs can also be released as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to permit communication between plants in anticipation of mutual dangers. History The isolation of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) from jasmine oil derived from '' Jasminum grandiflorum'' led to the discovery of the molecular structure of jasmonates and their name in 1962 while jasmonic acid itself was isolated from '' Lasiodiplodia theobromae'' by Alderidge et al in 1971. Biosynthesis Biosynthesis is reviewed by Acosta and Farmer 2010, Wasternack and Hause 2013, and Wasternack and Song 2017. Jasmonates (JA) are oxylipins, i.e. derivatives of oxygenated fatty acid. ...

Hydroperoxide
Hydroperoxides or peroxols are Chemical compound, compounds of the form ROOH, where R stands for any group, typically Organic compound, organic, which contain the hydroperoxy functional group (). Hydroperoxide also refers to the hydroperoxide anion () and its Salt (chemistry), salts, and the neutral hydroperoxyl, hydroperoxyl radical (•OOH) consist of an unbond hydroperoxy group. When R is organic, the compounds are called organic hydroperoxides. Such compounds are a subset of organic peroxides, which have the formula ROOR. Organic hydroperoxides can either intentionally or unintentionally initiate explosive polymerisation in materials with saturated bond, saturated chemical bonds. Properties The bond length in peroxides is about 1.45 Ångström, Å, and the angles (R = Hydrogen, H, Carbon, C) are about 110° (water-like). Characteristically, the dihedral angles are about 120°. The bond is relatively weak, with a bond dissociation energy of , less than half the strength ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
