A GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR MITSUNOBU INVERSION OF STERICALLY HINDERED ALCOHOLS: INVERSION OF MENTHOL. (1S,2S,5R)-5-METHYL-2-(1-METHYLETHYL)CYCLOHEXYL 4-NITROBENZOATE (Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-, 4-nitrobenzoate, [1S-(1α,2α,5β)]-) Substitution Preparation of Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-, 4-nitrobenzoate, [1S-(1α,2α,5β)]-. Submitted by Jeffrey A. Dodge, Jeffrey S. Nissen, and Misti Presnell1. DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.073.0110. Organic Syntheses
Appel reaction Substitution The Appel reaction is an organic reaction that converts an alcohol into an alkyl chloride using triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrachloride. The use of carbon tetrabromide or bromine as a halide sourc… Wikipedia: Category:Name reactions
Catalytic Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Reaction of Benzyl Meldrum's Acid Derivatives: Preparation of 5,6-Dimethoxy-2-Methyl-1-Indanone Electrophilic aromatic substitution Preparation of Catalytic Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Reaction of Benzyl Meldrum's Acid Derivatives: Preparation of 5,6-Dimethoxy-2-Methyl-1-Indanone. Submitted by Tiantong Lou, E-Ting Liao, Ashraf W… Organic Syntheses
Finkelstein reaction Substitution The Finkelstein reaction, named after the German chemist Hans Finkelstein, is a type of SN2 reaction (substitution nucleophilic bimolecular reaction) that involves the exchange of one halogen atom for… Wikipedia: Category:Name reactions
Friedel-Crafts acylation: benzene + acetyl chloride → acetophenone Scale Electrophilic aromatic substitution Textbook electrophilic aromatic substitution via the AlCl3-generated acylium ion. The product ketone (acetophenone) deactivates the ring toward further acylation, so unlike F-C alkylation, monoacylati… Friedel-Crafts 1877
Indium-Catalyzed Heteroaryl–Heteroaryl Bond Formation through Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Preparation of 2-Methyl-3-(thien-2-yl)-1H-indole Substitution Preparation of Indium-Catalyzed Heteroaryl–Heteroaryl Bond Formation through Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Preparation of 2-Methyl-3-(thien-2-yl)-1H-indole. Submitted by Yuta Nagase and Teruhisa… Organic Syntheses
Mitsunobu reaction Substitution The Mitsunobu reaction is an organic reaction that converts an alcohol into a variety of functional groups, such as an ester, using triphenylphosphine and an azodicarboxylate such as diethyl azodicarb… Wikipedia: Category:Name reactions
Mitsunobu reaction: benzyl alcohol + phthalimide → N-benzyl phthalimide Scale Substitution PPh3/DIAD-mediated dehydrative coupling of an alcohol with an acidic pronucleophile (pKa ≲ 13). Phthalimide as the nucleophile gives an N-alkyl phthalimide that hydrolyses to the free primary amine — … Mitsunobu 1967
NUCLEOPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION OF ARYL FLUORIDES BY SECONDARY NITRILES: PREPARATION OF 2-(2-METHOXYPHENYL)-2-METHYLPROPIONITRILE (Benzeneacetonitrile, 2-methoxy-α,α-dimethyl-) Substitution Preparation of Benzeneacetonitrile, 2-methoxy-α,α-dimethyl-. Submitted by Stéphane Caron1 , Jill M. Wojcik, and Enrique Vazquez. DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.079.0209. Organic Syntheses
SUBSTITUTION OF ARYL HALIDES WITH COPPER(I) ACETYLIDES: 2-PHENYLFURO[3,2-b]PYRIDINE (Furo[3,2-b]pyridine, 2-phenyl-) Substitution Preparation of Furo[3,2-b]pyridine, 2-phenyl-. Submitted by D. C. Owsley and C. E. Castro1. DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.052.0128. Organic Syntheses
SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS OF 2-BENZENESULFONYL CYCLIC ETHERS: TETRAHYDRO-2-(PHENYLETHYNYL)-2H-PYRAN (2H-Pyran, tetrahydro-2-(phenylethenyl)-) Substitution Preparation of 2H-Pyran, tetrahydro-2-(phenylethenyl)-. Submitted by Dearg S. Brown and Steven V. Ley1. DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.070.0157. Organic Syntheses
Vicarious nucleophilic substitution Substitution In organic chemistry, the vicarious nucleophilic substitution is a special type of nucleophilic aromatic substitution in which a nucleophile replaces a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring and not leavi… Wikipedia: Category:Name reactions
Williamson ether synthesis Substitution The Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol (alkoxide). This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. Typica… Wikipedia: Category:Name reactions
Williamson ether synthesis: sodium ethoxide + 1-bromobutane → ethyl butyl ether Scale Substitution Textbook SN2 ether-formation. Sodium ethoxide (typically generated in situ from NaH + EtOH or used as a solid) attacks the primary alkyl bromide via backside attack; the bromide leaves as NaBr, precip… Williamson 1850
