In this article we will discuss about organic reactions which are commonly used for the Synthesis of Alcohols.
Alcohols are the important intermediates in Organic Chemistry. They are widely used for synthesis of other functional groups such as alkyl halides, alkenes, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids etc.
Key words: Alcohols, Nucleophilic Substitution, Hydration, Oxymercuration-demercuration, Hydroboration-oxidation, Dihydroxylation, Reduction, Syn addition, Anti addition, Grignard reagents.
In this article we will learn about Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols. The Alcohols are organic compounds that consist of hydroxyl (-OH) group.
Key words: Alcohols, Structure and Nomenclature, IUPAC Names of Alcohols, Polyols, Phenols.
The word alcohol is derived from Arabic word al-kuhl means "the essence". They are one of the most common compounds used in nature and industries.
Chemical formula is the way of representation of the molecule which gives information about all the elements present and their proportion in that molecule.
Key words: Chemical formula, Molecular formula, Empirical formula, Condensed formula, Displayed formula, Structural formula, Skeletal formula, Hill Notation.
Chemical reaction is the change in physical or chemical properties of substance to form new substance. In general a chemical reaction is due to breaking or formation of chemical bond between the atoms.
Key words: Chemical reaction, Reactant, Reagent, Product, Mechanism, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Synthesis, Decomposition, Redox reaction, Single replacement, Double replacement, Acid-base reactions, Combustion, Precipitation.
In this article we will learn about chemical reactions and different types of chemical reactions. Every reaction has three components: reactant, reagent and product.
As the name of the broad category indicates “bicyclic” means there are two rings which are joined together. In this category of alkanes three types of structures are found.
Fused bicyclic
2.
Bridged bicyclic
3. Spirocyclic
In this article we will learn about Structure and Nomenclature of Alkynes.
Key words: Alkynes, Unsaturated hydrocarbons, carbon-carbon triple bond, IUPAC Nomenclature.
Alkynes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons. They consist of at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
In this article we will learn about Structure and Nomenclature of Alkenes in organic chemistry.
Key words: Alkenes, Unsaturated hydrocarbons, Carbon-carbon double bond, IUPAC Nomenclature.
The Alkenes are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons. They are derivatives of alkanes and consist of one or more carbon-carbon double bond. Alkenes have general formula CnH2n.
