Organic Chemistry

Hey there! I am working in a business development department of an energy production company. We just found out that from the materials we are producing energy from it is possible to extract Nicotine and Anabasine too. So my work is to find out where it is used, what is the market price and what is the demand. I have found out that these chemicals are used for insecticides and in smoking related industries. As market for chemicals is completely new for me, another my question is, where do these companies, which use these chemicals, buy them from? How to approach these companies and offer our product? Is there anything like Alibaba for chemicals? Any help appreciate…

can amide group undergoes oxidation with hydrogen peroxide at room temperature to yield nitro group ?? if yes what is the suggested mechanism?? as i added 0.5 ml of hydrogen peroxide (30 %) to 10 ml aqueous solution of amino acids containing structure left it at room temperature for 72 hours , then freeze dried the aqueous solution and analysed the resullted solid by IR, the IR frequencies showed two new strong bands at 1587.42 and 1398.36 than the IR of the intact structure before oxidation, thanks in advance

What would be the structure of the polymer when the monomers, HO-CH2-CH2-OH and HOOC-C6H4-COOH, combine?

We have synthesized 2-hydroxyethyl-triethylammonium bromide, then using it we have tried to prepare other salts. First we have used an ion exchange column to obtain 2-hydroxyethyl-triethylammonium chloride, after several tries we didn't get any good results. Following this example : [emim][br] + KOH -> [emim][OH] + KBr [emim][OH] + CH3COOH -> [emim][CH3COO] + H2O We have tried to prepare 2-hydroxyethyl-triethylammonium acetate but for some reasons, the reaction didn't take place. Can anyone help me to find an alternative method to synthesize those salts using 2-hydroxyethyl-triethylammonium bromid

Hi everyone, Could you please help to understand if cleaning agent as THPS (tetrakis (hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate) or phosphorus ester can react to disengage Ester the way as in the attacment of course after all carbonyl groups had been reacted? The problem is really broad nowadays as ester type chemical (for example viscosifier for drilling muds as Xanthan gam) can be produced with crude and block as filters as heater elements causing major operational problems of oil producing companies. Thanks in advance Novon + THPS reaction.pdf

Hello, everyone I have a question that i'm having a difficult time answering. Any help would be appreciated. The question is as follows: Given that compound A (C30H49B2Br5N7O2S) is hydrogenated to give compound B (C30H55B2Br5N7O2S), how many rings does compound A have. Assume the valency of sulfur in this compound is 4. a) 5 b) 6 c) 7 d) 8 e) none of the above

Hi. Need some advice as I'm worried about my mistake I made. I used bleach spray (1.5%) on my kitchen floor and wiped it up with some wipes containing ispropyl alcohol (5%). Online states a dangerous release of chemical gases would occur! Would this of happened in this case? Would they keep reacting as I went to bed after? Thanks in advance!

I need some help predicting the SN2 and E2 reaction products for the following: 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol + NaOH ---> ??? How may I predict the reaction products? Thanks !

Hey guys I work with cylindrospemopsin which is a cyanobacterial toxin (see first figure). I want to know how it interacts with mammalian proteins so I wanted to do a “pull down” assay, using the toxin as bait for target proteins. The uracyl group has been proven to be the binding portion to the toxin’s targets. The sulfate group is not involved with the toxic mechanism so I could hydrolyze it with HCl or other acid. This would leave an OH- group to work with. The molecule will have two OH- groups after hydrolysis. I would like to covalently bind this terminal OH- group to a stationary phase (like magnetic beads or spe column) so I can then use the other portion o…

Hello. for my chemistry experiment, I am using a colorimeter to measure changes in color intensity when adding citric acid to henna (the chemical dye is called lawsone). I am not sure what products are created when this reaction happens. Can someone please help me?

We are dealing with 95% v/v ethyl alcohol. To measure the quantity , we use measuring rod. For proper visibility we use carbon for marking purpose. I want some replacement for carbon which would be food grade and easy for mark detection

Hi everyone. I have a problem and question for you. I'm working on some organic synthesis and end of the synthesis, I have undesired product which is 1,3-dichloropropanol. How can I remove this chemical. I have tried evaporation but this is not feasible because this need very much energy. If you help me, I will be pleasure

In the attached photo, step one has the amino acid N terminus blocked and the C terminus activated by DCC. In step 2 the amino acid does not show the DCC unit. Would it not be needed in order to attach the amino acid to the linkage molecule? Also, what reaction takes place when joining the C terminus to the benzyl chloride linkage unit. I can see that the Cl is substituted for the oxygen so would this go via SN2 or SN1? Thanks for your help. Nick.

Hi, why polarizability of ligand -OH2 is bigger than of -H? what is the polarizability of NO2 comparing to them and e.g. I? i know that for halogens, it increase with increase of size of halogen down the group (electrons have more space on bigger atom), but how it is with other ligands? Thank you.

Hi, The following reaction(see photo attached) was talked about on a lecture I watched on YouTube. There was no mechanism mentioned so I tried to work it out myself. Can you confirm if I'm on the right track? Firstly the Na H (in excess) would de protonate all of the OH groups on the glucose molecule. Then the now O- groups would react by SN2 pathway on the benzyl chloride molecules. Now all the former O- groups would be joined to benzyl CH2 units? Thanks. Nick.

How do I differentiate between Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Addition? I know that the conceptual difference is the order in which the Nucleophile or Electrophile is added(please correct if wrong/poorly worded), but how can I discern which is which when looking at a reaction? Thanks!! -D

Why does a sample in an NMR spectrometer spin, but in an MRI the magnet spins?

Why does a signal for Csp2-H still show up in symmetrical alkenes even though the C=C bond does not?

can someone help me out?

Hello dear chemists! I have a problem. I can't find an article on a particular topic. Subject: the synthesis of isocyanate by the reaction of diphosgene with a glycine ester hydrochloride. I was searching on Scopus, Science Direct, but I couldn't find. Maybe someone could help me? I would be very grateful. Sorry for mistakes in construction of sentences. I know English bad.

Hello, this is my second post on this forum, so bare with me. I am working on a new project, and I need to make a concentrated liquid containing ATP. I don't have access to a laboratory, or chemicals. Would this be most easily achieved by fermenting sugar with bacteria? If I fermented a sugar mixture with Lactobacillus Acidophilus it would convert the sugar into citric acid and ATP, correct? I want to try and make ATP organicly. If anyone can help me with this I would be delighted!
