Sulfonylation [SO3/H2SO4] Sulfonylation [SO3/H2SO4] Definition: Treatment of an aromatic molecule such as benzene with sulfur trioxide and strong acid leads to the formation of sulfonic acid in the reaction of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Sulfonylation [SO3/H2SO4] Explained: Concentrated sulfuric acid…
Side chain bromination Side chain bromination Definition: When treated with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and light (hν) alkyl group adjacent to aromatic groups will be converted to into alkyl bromides. Side chain bromination Explained: This reaction is analogous to allylic…
Reduction of nitro groups Reduction of nitro groups Definition: Nitro groups can be converted into amino groups by treatment with reducing agents such as palladium on carbon with hydrogen (Pd/C, H2), zinc (Zn) metal with…
