Learn more on Wolff Kishner Reduction which explains the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alkanes.
Discover the Wittig Reaction allowing the preparation of an alkene by the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with the ylide generated from a phosphonium salt.
Know more on the Fischer Indole Synthesis which explains the conversion of aryl hydrazones to indoles
Learn more on the Wohl Ziegler Bromination which is the bromination of allylic positions with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS).
Know more on the Simmons Smith Reaction affording the cyclopropanation of olefins.
Discover the Clemmensen Reduction allowing the deoxygenation of aldehydes or ketones, to produce the corresponding hydrocarbon
Suzuki Cross coupling Reaction is a metal catalyzed reaction, typically with Pd, between an alkenyl (vinyl), aryl, or alkynyl organoborane (boronic acid or boronic ester, or special cases with aryl trifluoroborane) and halide or triflate under basic conditions.
Discover the Friedel–Crafts acylation which is the reaction of an arene with acyl chlorides or anhydrides using a strong Lewis acid catalyst.
Learn more the Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation is the oxidative cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters and cyclic ketones to lactones
Discover the Beckmann rearrangement Reaction which is a reaction of oximes that can result in either amides or nitriles, depending on the starting material. (Oximes derived from ketones give amides; oximes derived from aldehydes provide nitriles)
Know more on the Grignard Reaction which is the addition of an organo-magnesium halide (Grignard reagent) to a ketone or aldehyde, to form a tertiary or secondary alcohol, respectively
Watch and know more on the Dess-Martin Periodinane (DMP), a hypervalent iodine compound, offering selective and very mild oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones.
