Elimination Reactions in Organic Chemistry

Elimination reaction in organic chemistry has main types as E1-reaction, E2-reaction and E1cB-elimination reaction. 

Key words: E1-reaction, E2-reaction and E1cB-elimination reaction, Dehydrohalogenation, Dehalogenation, Dehydration

Hi Friends, in this article we will learn elimination reactions in organic chemistry.

What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?

A base and a nucleophile are organic compounds which has opposite properties. Here we will discuss about acid base reaction, elimination reaction and nucleophilic substitution reaction which are favored by bases and nucleophiles.

Hi Friends, in this article we will learn about base and nucleophiles in organic chemistry.

Amphiphiles: Classification, Applications and Self Assemblies

Amphiphile a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic & lipophilic (fat-loving) properties. 

Hi Friends, in this article we will learn about amphiphiles or surfactants classification, applications and self assemblies. 

Keywords: Amphiphile, Surfactant, Self-assembly, Micelles. 

Multiplicity of peak in 1H-NMR spectroscopy

Multiplicity of peak in 1H-NMR spectrum is splitting of one peak in to two or many peaks.

Hi Friends, in this article we will learn about splitting and multiplicity of peak in 1H-NMR. In previous article we have seen that how we can find coupling constant or J-value of the peak in ¹H-NMR spectrum.[Link]

We have discussed various applications of spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine and environmental science in another article. Please check out for more details. [Link]

What is syn-anti isomerism?

Syn-anti isomerism in organic chemistry is a type of geometrical isomerism. The prefixes “syn” or “anti” are used to denote geometrical isomers. 

We have discussed geometrical isomerism in previous articles.1 Preferably, syn /anti notations are used for nomenclature of oximes that is aldoxime and ketoxime. Meaning of the word syn is “together” or “with”.  And meaning of the word anti is “opposite”.
