In the previous few posts, we went over the basics of electrophilic aromatic substitution-halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation. Now, let’s dive into one of the most important EAS reactions discovered in 1877 by Charles Friedel and James Crafts, which allows for … Read more
In the previous post, we talked about Friedel-Crafts alkylation – a classic reaction for attaching alkyl groups to benzene rings. A similar reaction is used for adding an acyl group to the aromatic ring, thus making a ketone. This is … Read more
Decarboxylation is the loss of carbon dioxide upon heating, typically characteristic of carboxylic acids with a β-carbonyl group. These are most often beta-keto acids, malonic acid, or its derivatives: Carboxylic acids by themselves are very stable and do … Read more
Michael reactions are conjugate-addition reactions of doubly stabilized enolates such as malonic ester, acetoacetic ester, and the like with ɑ, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds: So, the Michael reaction is a particular type of conjugate addition reaction that ɑ, β-unsaturated … Read more
In the previous post, we talked about the acetoacetic ester synthesis, which is used for preparing ketones having one or two alkyl groups on the ɑ position: Another way to look at this reaction is to say that … Read more
