Compounds with a C=O structure are carbonyl compounds, and there are many types of carbonyl compounds. Among these carbonyl compounds, carbonyl compounds that can be synthesized from carboxylic acids are called carboxylic acid derivatives. There are different types of carboxylic acid derivatives, such as acyl chloride, acid anhydride, esters and amides. Since their reactivity and […]
There are many compounds that have ketones and aldehydes as functional groups. They are also known as carbonyl and formyl groups and are important functional groups because they cause many types of chemical reactions. Ketones and aldehydes are highly reactive, and if nothing is done to prevent them, the carbonyl carbons will be subjected to […]
It is important to understand how the different functional groups react with each other in the synthesis. Among these functional groups, ketones and aldehydes are known to be two of the most important functional groups. Ketones are called carbonyl groups and aldehydes are called formyl groups. What they have in common is that they both […]
The synthesis of aromatic compounds is very important because organic compounds with benzene rings are common. Compounds with aromatic rings are highly stable and usually do not react chemically. In some cases, however, it is possible to replace substituents on the aromatic rings. This is called nucleophilic aromatic substitution. If a leaving group is present […]
Compounds with a benzene ring are quite common. Benzene rings are called aromatics, and compounds with a benzene ring are aromatic compounds. The molecule with the double bond is the benzene ring. However, the benzene ring undergoes a completely different chemical reaction than the alkene ring. Benzene rings are electron-rich like alkenes, but they do […]
Once you understand the nature of the functional groups, you will be able to understand how to make them react chemically. And an important functional group in organic chemistry is the amine. There are so many molecules with amines that they are one of the most common substitution groups. Amino groups are known to be […]
The synthetic reaction to create new carbon is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry. When making new carbon chains, the presence of anions (negatively charged ions) of carbon is very useful. These anion compounds include organometallic compounds. Because they are anionic carbon atoms, organometallic compounds are strong bases. Anions also act as […]
One of the important reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry is the radical reaction. Radicals are highly reactive intermediates, and new bonds can be formed by using radical reactions. Radical reactions are a different reaction mechanism from the general organic synthetic reactions with acids and bases. It is difficult for many people to understand what kind […]
Organic compounds that have a hydroxy group (-OH) are called alcohol. To the general public, alcohol refers to ethanol, and many people get intoxicated by drinking beverages with ethanol. However, in organic chemistry, we describe alcohol as including compounds with hydroxy groups. There are so many compounds with alcohols that can be synthesized into a […]
There are many organic compounds that involve oxygen atoms. Among these compounds, ethers are the functional groups to which carbon atoms are connected by oxygen atoms. There are only a few types of important organic reactions using ethers, and all you have to do is understand the cleavage reaction under acidic conditions. In other words, […]
