Doyle–Kirmse Reaction
The Doyle–Kirmse reaction is an organic reaction in which a metal carbene reacts with an allyl compound with transposition of the alkene and transfer of the electronegative group from the allyl onto the carbene carbon. As originally developed, an allyl sulfide reacts with trimethylsilyldiazomethane to form the homoallyl sulfide compound. The reaction was first reported by in 1968 and modified by Michael P. Doyle in 1981. The Kirmse protocol required a copper salt. The reaction mechanism involves nucleophilic addition of the sulfur to the metal carbene formed from the diazoalkane followed by a Stevens-like rearrangement. Doyle expanded the scope of the reaction to include other diazo compounds, such as ethyl diazoacetate, other allyl compounds, such as allyl amines and allyl halides, and use of with rhodium catalysts, such as hexadecacarbonylhexarhodium. An example is the reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with allyl iodide: The reaction can also be catalyzed by iron, pall ...

Organic Reaction
Organic reactions are chemical reactions involving organic compounds. The basic organic chemistry reaction types are addition reactions, elimination reactions, substitution reactions, pericyclic reactions, rearrangement reactions, mechanistic organic photochemistry, photochemical reactions and organic redox reaction, redox reactions. In organic synthesis, organic reactions are used in the construction of new organic molecules. The production of many man-made chemicals such as drugs, plastics, food additives, fabrics depend on organic reactions. The oldest organic reactions are combustion of organic fuels and saponification of fats to make soap. Modern organic chemistry starts with the Wöhler synthesis in 1828. In the history of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry awards have been given for the invention of specific organic reactions such as the Grignard reaction in 1912, the Diels–Alder reaction in 1950, the Wittig reaction in 1979 and olefin metathesis in 2005.
