There are so many compounds with benzene rings. Benzene rings are called aromatics, and compounds with a benzene ring are aromatic compounds. A molecule with double bonds is a benzene ring. However, a benzene ring undergoes an entirely different chemical reaction than an alkene. Benzene rings are electron-rich like alkenes, but they do not undergo […]

If you understand the properties of functional groups, you will be able to understand how to make chemical reactions. And an important functional group in organic chemistry is the amine. There are so many molecules with amines, and it is one of the most common substituents. Amino groups are known to be basic substances and […]

The synthetic reaction to create new carbon is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry. When making new carbon chains, the presence of anions (negatively charged ions) of carbon is very useful. These anion compounds include organometallic compounds. Because they are anionic carbon atoms, organometallic compounds are strong bases. Anions also act as […]

One of the important reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry is the radical reaction. Radicals are highly reactive intermediates, and new bonds can be formed by using radical reactions. Radical reactions are a different reaction mechanism from the general organic synthetic reactions with acids and bases. It is difficult for many people to understand a radical […]

Organic compounds that have a hydroxy group (-OH) are called alcohol. For ordinary people, alcohol refers to ethanol, and many people get drunk by drinking beverages containing ethanol. However, in organic chemistry, we describe alcohol as including compounds with hydroxy groups. There are many compounds that contain alcohols, and alcohols can be synthesized into a […]

There are many organic compounds that involve oxygen atoms. Among these compounds, ethers are the functional groups in which carbon atoms are connected by oxygen atoms. There are only a few types of important organic reactions using ethers, and all you have to do is understand the cleavage reaction under acidic conditions. In other words, […]

Alkynes are known to be compounds that have triple bonds in the molecule. While many compounds have the structure of alkanes and alkenes, there are also compounds that have triple bonds in the molecule. Unlike single and double bonds, triple bonds have special properties. For example, due to their high acidity, they can be used […]

There are a great many molecules in organic compounds that have double bonds. When these molecules react with other reagents, addition reactions occur. When addition reactions occur, the double bond of the alkene changes to a single bond, and the product is obtained. In organic chemistry, the addition reaction of alkenes is the basis of […]

An important element in organic chemistry is optical isomers (chiral molecules). They are also called chirality, and even though they may appear to have the same structural formula, the presence of a chiral center results in a mixture of completely different compounds. In organic chemistry, optical isomers must be clearly separated because they are completely […]

In organic chemistry, we often use cyclic compounds. A typical cyclic compound is cyclohexane, and these compounds are used in synthetic reactions. Cyclic compounds have strain. They are in a high energy state due to steric hindrance and other factors. The more strain there is, the more unstable the state is, and the more reactive […]
