This is on account of the reason that the remaining carbonions left after the abstraction of alpha-hydrogen atom by the base are resonance stabilised. For more details. consult section 8 (adol Condensation).
Unfortunately, my skills at thermodynamics are lacking and I'm not sure how to compare the two compounds in question with any certainty. The URL you showed certainly suggests that the change in entropy for converting the bromohydrin to the acid would have a negative entropy (induce a more ord...
Why is there no pop of pure oxygen and pure hydrogen? Why does CrO3 in acidic water oxidize? Why is succinate oxidized by FAD instead of NAD+? Why is it necessary to remove water from an acetal reaction? Why is cyclohexene used in the synthesis of diphenylacetylene, and why doesn't it...
The anomalous acidic properties of the coarse grades of anhydrous calcium hydrogen phosphate are commented and a tentative elucidation of this is proposed.doi:10.1691/ph.2010.9379Eyjolfsson, R.Die Pharmazie - An International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences...
Continuing on my pH and hydroxy acid kick, today's Fact-check is on the influence of pH and alpha and beta hydroxy acids. Hold onto your hats for this one – it…
Third, we add an acidic solution that will neutralize the basic solution we just added and cause the denatured genomic DNA and proteins to precipitate out. They are then removed by a high-speed centrifugation step. The acidic solution also contains tons and tons of chaotropic salt so when we...
Carbocation rearrangements occur most frequently on secondary carbocations. Simple alkyl primary carbocations aretoo high in energy to formso you don't tend to see a primary carbocation. ... If a secondary carbocation is vicinal to a tertiary carbon bearing a hydrogen, a 1,2- hydride shift sh...
