29. WITTIG REACTION
WITTIG REACTION: Wittig reaction is a powerful synthetic method used to convert a carbonyl compound, typically an aldehyde or ketone, into an alkene using a phosphorus ylide as the key…
30. MICHAEL ADDITION
The Michael addition is a versatile organic reaction that involves the nucleophilic addition of a nucleophile to a conjugated acceptor system, typically an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. The reaction is named…
31. HOFMANN REARRANGEMENT
The Hofmann rearrangement is a chemical reaction that involves the conversion of primary amides (RCO-NH2) into primary amines (RNH2) with one fewer carbon atom. It is named after the German…
32. SANDMEYERS REACTION
SANDMEYERS REACTION is a chemical reaction that allows for the conversion of an aromatic amino group (primary or secondary) into various functional groups using diazonium salts. It is named after…
33. BASICITY OF AMINES
The basicity of amines refers to their ability to accept a proton (H+) and form a positively charged species. Amines have lone pairs of electrons on the nitrogen atom, which…
34. DIAZOTISATION AND COUPLING
Diazotization and coupling are two sequential reactions commonly used in organic chemistry to prepare a variety of aromatic compounds, such as azo dyes and pigments. Let’s explore each step: PATH:…
35. ACIDITY OF PHENOLS
Acidity of Phenols: Phenols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes phenols weak acids. Compared to…
