Tautomerization: All Types and their Examples
Tautomerization is the type of structural isomerism in which the positions of atoms in a molecule can be changed by the transfer of a hydrogen [...]
E2 reactions: Mechanism, Stereochemistry, and Examples
E2 reactions, as the name indicates, are bimolecular, single-step β-elimination reactions. Bond breaking and formation occur simultaneously in a single transition state. E2 reactions are regioselective [...]
Solvolysis: Classification and Examples
Solvolysis is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which a solvent act as a nucleophile. In this reaction, the solvent reacts with the substrate so that [...]
Hydride Shift: Types with Examples
In organic reaction, the hydride shift is the rearrangement reaction in which the hydride ion (H-) is transferred from one carbon atom to another. This [...]
Regioselectivity: Reactions and Examples
Regioselectivity is the preferential formation or breaking of chemical bonds in one direction over all possible directions. It results in the formation of regioisomers and [...]
Enolates: Preparation, Stability, and Reactions
Enolates are important organic reactive intermediates. They have the dual characteristics of both alkoxide and carbanion. Enolates can be synthesized from carbonyl compounds, such as [...]
Carbene: Types, Preparation, and Reactions
A carbene is a highly reactive intermediate that contains six valence electrons on the carbon atom. It is formed in a basic medium and acts [...]
Conjugated Dienes: Preparation, Properties, and Reactions
Conjugated dienes are a class of organic compounds which contain carbon-carbon double bond (C=C ) units joined by a single bond. These dienes are more [...]
Esters Hydrolysis: Types and their Mechanisms
Esters are organic compounds that are prepared by the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. When esters are added to water containing an [...]
Huckel Rule of Aromaticity: (4n+2𝜋) Electronic Systems
Huckel rule explains the aromatic properties of monocyclic organic compounds. According to this rule, a planner ring would be practically more stable if it has [...]
