The term designates structures in which a hydrogen atom is bonded to both a carbon atom and a metal atom. The term is also used to characterize the interaction between a CH bond and an unsaturated metal center, and to describe similar bonding of a transition metal with Si-H compounds. The expression "μ-hydrido-bridged" is also used to describe the bridging hydrogen.
Industry:Chemistry
A substitution reaction occurring at position 1/ of an allylic system, the double bond being between positions 2/ and 3/. The incoming group may be attached to the same atom 1/ as the leaving group, or the incoming group becomes attached at the relative position 3/, with movement of the double bond from 2/3 to 1/2. For example:
<center>CH<sub>3</sub>CH=CHCH<sub>2</sub>Br → CH<sub>3</sub>CH=CHCH<sub>2</sub>OAc</center>
or
<center>CH<sub>3</sub>CH=CHCH<sub>2</sub>Br → CH<sub>3</sub>CH(OAc)CH=CH<sub>2</sub></center>
(written as a transformation).
Industry:Chemistry
A compound containing a large organic cation or anion which possesses a long unbranched hydrocarbon chain, e.g.
<blockquote>H<sub>3</sub>C(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>n</sub>CO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>M<sup>+</sup><br> H<sub>3</sub>C(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>n</sub>SO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>M<sup>+</sup><br> H<sub>3</sub>C(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>n</sub>N(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>X<sup>-</sup><br> (n > 7).</blockquote>
The existence of distinct polar (hydrophilic) and non polar (hydrophobic) regions in the molecule promotes the formation of micelles in dilute aqueous solution.
Industry:Chemistry
Self-ionizing solvent possessing both characteristics of Brønsted acids and bases, for example H<sub>2</sub>O and CH<sub>3</sub>OH, in contrast to aprotic solvent.
Industry:Chemistry
A chemical species that behaves both as an acid and as a base is called amphoteric. This property depends upon the medium in which the species is investigated: H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> is an acid when studied in water, but becomes amphoteric in superacids.
Industry:Chemistry
A rearrangement in which the migrating group moves with its electron pair from one atom to another.
Industry:Chemistry
Alternative, but less desirable term for annulation. The term is widely used in German and French language.
Industry:Chemistry
A transformation involving fusion of a new ring to a molecule via two new bonds.
Some authors use the term "annelation" for the fusion of an additional ring to an already existing one, and "annulation" for the formation of a ring from one or several acyclic precursors, but this distinction is not made generally.
Industry:Chemistry
Mancude (i.e. having formally the maximum number of noncumulative double bonds) monocyclic hydrocarbon without side chains of the general formula C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>n</sub> (n is an even number) or C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>n+1</sub> (n is an odd number). Note that in systematic nomenclature an annulene with seven or more carbon atoms may be named (n)annulene, where n is the number of carbon atoms, e.g. (9)annulene for cyclonona-1,3,5,7-tetraene.
Industry:Chemistry
Non-protogenic (in a given situation). (With extremely strong Brønsted acids or bases, solvents that are normally aprotic may accept or lose a proton. For example, acetonitrile is in most instances an aprotic solvent, but it is protophilic in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and protogenic in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide. Similar considerations apply to benzene, trichloromethane, etc.)
