Phellandrene
Phellandrenes are organic compounds with the formula . They have a similar molecular structure and similar chemical properties. α-Phellandrene and β-phellandrene are cyclic monoterpenes and are double-bond isomers. In α-phellandrene, both double bonds are endocyclic, and in β-phellandrene, one of them is exocyclic. Both are insoluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents. Etymology and occurrence α-Phellandrene was named after ''Eucalyptus phellandra'', now called '' Eucalyptus radiata'', from which it can be isolated. It is also a constituent of the essential oil of ''Eucalyptus dives''. β-Phellandrene has been isolated from the oil of water fennel and Canada balsam oil. The main source of β-phellandrene is terpentine. β- pinene is a source of β-phellandrene. Reactions and uses α-Phellandrene undergoes hydrochlorination to give phellandrene hydrochloride (a cyclohexenyl chloride). Base hydrolysis of this hydrochloride gives piperitol. The phella ...

(Cymene)ruthenium Dichloride Dimer
(Cymene)ruthenium dichloride dimer is the organometallic compound with the formula cymene)RuCl This red-coloured, diamagnetic solid is a reagent in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The complex is structurally similar to (benzene)ruthenium dichloride dimer. Preparation and reactions The dimer is prepared by the reaction of the phellandrene with hydrated ruthenium trichloride. At high temperatures, cymene)RuClexchanges with other arenes: : cymene)RuCl+ 2 CMe → CMe)RuCl+ 2 cymene (Cymene)ruthenium dichloride dimer reacts with Lewis bases to give monometallic adducts: : cymene)RuCl+ 2 PPh → 2 (cymene)RuCl(PPh) Such monomers adopt pseudo-octahedral piano-stool structures. Precursor to catalysts Treatment of cymene)RuClwith the chelating ligand Ts DPENH gives (cymene)Ru(TsDPEN-H), a catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. cymene)RuClis also used to prepare catalysts (by monomerization with dppf) used in borrowing hydrogen catalysis, a cataly ...

The Merck Index
''The Merck Index'' is an encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs and biologicals with over 10,000 monographs on single substances or groups of related compounds published online by the Royal Society of Chemistry. History The first edition of the Merck's Index was published in 1889 by the German chemical company Emanuel Merck and was primarily used as a sales catalog for Merck's growing list of chemicals it sold. The American subsidiary was established two years later and continued to publish it. During World War I the US government seized Merck's US operations and made it a separate American "Merck" company that continued to publish the Merck Index. In 2012 the Merck Index was licensed to the Royal Society of Chemistry. An online version of The Merck Index, including historic records and new updates not in the print edition, is commonly available through research libraries. It also includes an appendix with monographs on organic named reactions. The 15th edition was published in A ...

Monoterpenes
Monoterpenes are a class of terpenes that consist of two isoprene units and have the molecular formula C10H16. Monoterpenes may be linear (acyclic) or contain rings (monocyclic and bicyclic). Modified terpenes, such as those containing oxygen functionality or missing a methyl group, are called monoterpenoids. Monoterpenes and monoterpenoids are diverse. They have relevance to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, and food industries. Biosynthesis Monoterpenes are derived biosynthetically from units of isopentenyl pyrophosphate, which is formed from acetyl-CoA via the intermediacy of mevalonic acid in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway. An alternative, unrelated biosynthesis pathway of IPP is known in some bacterial groups and the plastids of plants, the so-called MEP-(2-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate) pathway, which is initiated from C5 sugars. In both pathways, IPP is isomerized to DMAPP by the enzyme isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase. Geranyl pyrophosphate is the precurs ...

Elimination Reaction
An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. The one-step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction. The numbers refer not to the number of steps in the mechanism, but rather to the kinetics of the reaction: E2 is bimolecular (second-order) while E1 is unimolecular (first-order). In cases where the molecule is able to stabilize an anion but possesses a poor leaving group, a third type of reaction, E1cB-elimination reaction, E1CB, exists. Finally, the pyrolysis of xanthate and acetate esters proceed through an "internal" elimination mechanism, the Ei mechanism, Ei mechanism. E2 mechanism The E2 mechanism, where E2 stands for bimolecular elimination, involves a one-step mechanism in which ''carbon-hydrogen'' and ''carbon-halogen'' bonds break to form a double bond (''C=C molecular geometry, Pi bond'').

Allyl
In organic chemistry, an allyl group is a substituent with the structural formula . It consists of a methylene bridge () attached to a vinyl group (). The name is derived from the scientific name for garlic, . In 1844, Theodor Wertheim isolated an allyl derivative from garlic oil and named it "". The term allyl applies to many compounds related to , some of which are of practical or of everyday importance, for example, allyl chloride. Allylation is any chemical reaction that adds an allyl group to a Substrate (chemistry), substrate. Nomenclature A site adjacent to the unsaturated carbon atom is called the allylic position or allylic site. A group attached at this site is sometimes described as allylic. Thus, "has an allylic hydroxyl group". Allylic Carbon–hydrogen bond, C−H bonds are about 15% weaker than the C−H bonds in ordinary Orbital hybridisation, sp3 carbon centers and are thus more reactive. Benzylic and allylic are related in terms of structure, bond strength ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Geranyl Pyrophosphate
Geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP), also known as geranyl diphosphate (GDP), is the pyrophosphate ester of the terpenoid geraniol. Its salts are colorless. It is a precursor to many thousands of natural product, natural products. Occurrence GPP is an intermediate in the Terpenoid, isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway that produces longer prenyl chains such as farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate as well as many Terpene, terpenes. It can be prepared in the laboratory from geraniol. Microbial toxicity Intracellularly produced GPP has been shown to be toxic to the bacteria ''E. coli'' at moderate doses.
