Baeyer’s strain theory and its limitations
Baeyer’s Strain Theory and its limitations were proposed by Adolf von Baeyer in order to explain the relative stability of various alicyclic rings (aliphatic cyclic rings). Baeyer’s strain theory and its limitations Let’s discuss postulates of Baeyer’s strain theory of cycloalkanes first of all, and its limitations later. Baeyer’s strain theory of cycloalkanes When a […]
Conformational isomers of cyclohexane
Conformational isomers of cyclohexane and the stability of these isomers have been discussed in detail along with a suitable diagram. Cyclohexane can adopt different conformational isomers. Let’s discuss them in detail with an energy profile diagram. Conformational isomers of cyclohexane Among different conformers of cyclohexane, chair conformation is the most important and stable one. Actually, […]

Chugaev reaction mechanism: Useful application
Chugaev reaction mechanism is a concerted process, which has been discussed below along with its application and limitation. Chugaev reaction was first of all reported by Chugaev in 1899. It is a type of elimination reaction, also known as pyrolytic elimination. Chugaev reaction Alcohol reacts with carbon disulfide in presence of sodium hydroxide to give […]
Cram’s rule of asymmetric induction: Easy illustration
Cram’s rule of asymmetric induction predicts the stereochemistry of the nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl compound with an adjacent chiral center. Therefore, it is a very important guidance in organic chemistry. It was given, first of all by Cram in 1952. Cram’s rule of asymmetric induction When a molecule with one or more chiral centers […]
Two point arrhenius equation, Easy derivation, 3 application
Two point Arrhenius equation, Arrhenius equation definition, derivation, applications such as calculation of activation energy and frequency factor, and some related topic have been discussed here. Arrhenius equation definition The effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction can be explained quantitatively. Arrhenius derived a simple relationship between rate constant k and temperature […]
First Order Reaction definition, example, half life period
First order reaction definition, examples, rate constant, integrated rate law, half-life period, graphical representation, and pseudo-first-order reaction have been discussed here. First order reaction first order reaction definition First order reaction can be defined as the reaction mechanism whose rate is directly proportional to the first power of concentration of reactant. It means the first […]
Retro diels alder reaction: Mechanism application
Retro diels alder reaction, mechanism, application, intramolecular diels alder reaction, hetero diels alder, and inverse electron demand diels alder reaction have been discussed here. Retro diels alder reaction Retro diels alder reaction is the opposite of the Diels-Alder reaction, in which an organic molecule containing a double bond in a six-membered ring undergoes cycloreversion to […]
Diels Alder Reaction mechanism: Stereochemistry and Regiochemistry
Diels alder reaction mechanism, examples, stereochemistry, regiochemistry, and application have been discussed here. Diels alder reaction was first of all given by Diels and Alder in 1928 Diels alder reaction Diels alder reaction definition The Diels alder reaction is an electrocyclic [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction that produces an unsaturated six-membered ring by combining conjugated dienes with dienophiles […]
