Watch this colorful chemistry reaction! When Lead Nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) meets Potassium Iodide (KI), a vibrant yellow precipitate of Lead Iodide (PbI2) forms instantly. See the science in action! #education #science #chemistry

I am thrilled to share my first publication: 'Switching the Reactivity of Dihydrothiopyran-4-one with Aldehydes by Aqueous Organocatalysis: Baylis–Hillman, Aldol, or Aldol Condensation Reactions.' In this paper, an aqueous medium containing catalytic amounts of a tertiary amine was employed to direct the chemoselectivity of the reaction of aldehydes with 2H-thiopyran-4(3H)-one. With DBU, BH products were formed at room temperature as a rare exemplary of Baylis–Hillman reactions in heterocyclic enones. DABCO alternated the pathway toward an aldol reaction to form syn/anti mixtures of Aldole reaction with the syn isomers being the major products. With Et3N, aldol condensation dominated. #Baylis–Hillman reactions #heterocyclic enones   #ResearchPublication Check out the paper linked below if you're interested! https://lnkd.in/dKPhRBTD

Acylation reactions are one of the more challenging parts of organic chemistry. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/etAZdGmf #alevelchem #alevelchemistry #alevelchemistrytutor #alevelchemistrytuition #organicchemistry #acylation #esters #ester

Here ( https://lnkd.in/ghZm_BxP ) is the blog post for 'enolates and enolate equivalents'. This is the detailed explanation of the #chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz found here: https://lnkd.in/gMvJ2WgA As always, this is meant to give more examples and explain the chemistry more thoroughly. It isn't meant to be a deep dive into the subject, it is still aimed at #undergraduates at the start of the chemistry journey. Hopefully, it is useful. If you like these (both the blog and the one page summaries), please check out my colleagues post on some of the work we did together to improve the first year experience at Massey University. It can be found here ( https://lnkd.in/gN7fMfdm ) it was a great project to be involved in & I hope it continues to bear fruit over the coming years.

Continuing the revision of enolate chemistry, here is a one page #ChemEd #SciViz #chemistry summary of lithium enolates and other enolate equivalents. These are discussed as they allow more control over selectivity than the normal examples used to introduce enolate chemistry. Hopefully, they will lay the groundwork for stereocontrol (something I love, but is a long way down my list of summaries to write). This summary misses one obvious enolate equivalent and that is enamines, they'll get their own summary. As always, I hope these are useful for students (and that there aren't too many mistakes).

Everything about the McMurry Reaction Part 1 ! 🌟 The McMurry Reaction is a versatile organic reaction used to synthesize alkenes from carbonyl compounds. Discovered by John E. McMurry in the 1970s, this reaction involves the reductive coupling of ketones or aldehydes using a titanium-based reagent, such as TiCl3 or TiCl4 and a reducing agent such as Zn, Zn(Cu) ... Why is it interesting ? 📚 - Versatility: It can create various alkenes, including cyclic alkenes. - Efficiency: It often provides high yields and can be used in both academic and industrial settings. - Synthetic Utility: It’s particularly useful in the synthesis of natural products and complex organic molecules. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, where we’ll delve deeper into the applications and variations of the McMurry Reaction ! #Chemistry #OrganicChemistry #McMurryReaction #ChemicalSynthesis #Innovation #Nuvisan
