What ester is formed when the carboxylic acid is treated with ethanol (CH_3CH_2OH) in the presence of H_2SO_4? What ester is formed when the carboxylic acid is treated with ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of H2SO4? What is the mechanism for aldol condensation? What ester is forme...
The alpha,beta to beta,gamma interconversion of unsaturated ketones is catalyzed by base as well as by acid. Propose a mechanism. What are the functional groups on Lactide? What class of carbohydrates gives two sugar molecules when hydrolyzed?
Nevertheless, there is still considerable dispute as to the source of the virus; it could have been a Wuhan laboratory accident or animal exposure, but it seems unlikely that an intentional release occurred. Where does SARS-CoV-2 spread? When a new pathogenic appears, discovering the source is...
If A is in equilibrium with B, and B is in equilibrium with C, then A is in equilibrium with C. That’s the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics[Note 1]. The 36:64 ratio of alpha (α) to beta (β) represents the distribution of isomers when D-glucose is in equilibrium in water at 25°...
As you have your reaction written now it is lacking the trialkyl phosphite ester. I do agree though that it has a strange reaction mechanism. Do you have an example of the mechanism that you can upload? The example on Wikipedia is very confusing because they are leaving out the keto-enol...
How life on Earth began remains an unexplained scientific problem. This problem is nuanced in its practical details and the way attempted explanations feedback with questions and developments in other areas of science, including astronomy, biology, and p
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is described as a fatty liver for which no secondary causes of the condition, such as alcohol use or hepatitis viral infection, can be found [1]. A diagnosis of this disease can be determined by identifying the connection between a lack of hepatocell...
