functional groups and organic reactions

Influence on the Reactions of other Functional Groups - The presence of nitro group facilitates nucleophilic substitution of otherwise unreactive aromatic halides by stabilizing the intermediate carbanio..

When an atom or group of atoms bonded to a carbon atom in the chain or ring of an organic compound, shown some characteristic properties of their own, they are termed as a functional group. Thus, a functional group is an atom or ..

When an atom or group of atoms bonded to a carbon atom in the chain or ring of an organic compound, shown some characteristic properties of their own, they are termed as a functional group. Thus, a functional group is an atom or group..

The reactions in which an atom or group of atoms in a molecule is replaced or substituted by different atoms or group of atoms are called substitution reaction..

Introduction - The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. All organic compounds can be derived from hydrocarbons by substituting a hydrogen atom with a suitable functional group. Replacing a hydrogen atom by a OH group in a hydrocarbon, gives ..

Definition - The functional group is an atom, or a group of atoms which can replace one or more hydrogen/s in a hydrocarbon. This group when present in organic compounds defines the characteristic physical and chemical properties of that particular ..

This chapter contains oxygen compounds in which oxygen is bonded to a carbon atom through a double bond. The functional unit >C = O, present in these compounds is called carbonyl group. We limit our study now to compounds having an acyl group (R - C = O) is bo..

The halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are called haloalkanes and haloarenes. These are obtained when the hydrogen atom of an alkane and arene is replaced by a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br and I..
