Molecular Formula
A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and ''plus'' (+) and ''minus'' (−) signs. These are limited to a single typographic line of symbols, which may include subscripts and superscripts. A chemical formula is not a chemical name since it does not contain any words. Although a chemical formula may imply certain simple chemical structures, it is not the same as a full chemical structural formula. Chemical formulae can fully specify the structure of only the simplest of molecules and chemical substances, and are generally more limited in power than chemical names and structural formulae. The simplest types of chemical formulae are called '' empirical formulae'', which use letters and numbers indicating the numerical ''proportions'' of atoms of ...

Prochiral
In stereochemistry, prochiral molecules are those that can be converted from achiral to chiral in a single step, such as changing one atom. An achiral species which can be converted to a chiral in two steps is called proprochiral. A molecule having only one plane of symmetry, or an inversion point and no plane of symmetry, is prochiral if it is possible to change one of the two sides or to destroy the symmetry in another way. But a molecule with more symmetry, such as ethane, may require two substitutions to become chiral, and is thus proprochiral. Methane requires three substitutions to become chiral. If two identical substituents are attached to an sp3-hybridized atom, the descriptors ''pro''-R and ''pro''-S are used to distinguish between the two. Promoting the ''pro''-R substituent to higher priority than the other identical substituent results in an ''R'' chirality center at the original sp3-hybridized atom, and analogously for the ''pro''-S substituent. A trigonal plan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kulinkovich Reaction
The Kulinkovich reaction describes the organic synthesis of substituted cyclopropanols through reaction of esters with dialkyldialkoxytitanium reagents, which are generated in situ from Grignard reagents containing a hydrogen in beta-position and titanium(IV) alkoxides such as titanium isopropoxide. This reaction was first reported by Oleg Kulinkovich and coworkers in 1989. Titanium catalysts are ClTi(OiPr)3 or Ti(OiPr)4, ClTi(OtBu)3 or Ti(OtBu)4, Grignard reagents are EtMgX, PrMgX or BuMgX. Solvents can be Et2O, THF, toluene. Tolerated Functional Groups: Ethers R–O–R, R–S–R, Imines RN=CHR. Amides, primary and secondary amines. Carbamates typically do not tolerate the reaction conditions, but tert-butyl carbamates (N-Boc derivatives) survive the transformation. An asymmetric version of this reaction is also known with a TADDOL-based catalyst. Reaction mechanism The generally accepted reaction mechanism initially utilizes two successive stages of transmet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acetic Acid
Acetic acid , systematically named ethanoic acid , is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic compound with the chemical formula (also written as , , or ). Vinegar is at least 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Historically, vinegar was produced from the third century BC and was likely the first acid to be produced in large quantities. Acetic acid is the second simplest carboxylic acid (after formic acid). It is an important Reagent, chemical reagent and industrial chemical across various fields, used primarily in the production of cellulose acetate for photographic film, polyvinyl acetate for wood Adhesive, glue, and synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents. In the food industry, acetic acid is controlled by the E number, food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator and as a condiment.
