Synthesis explained

Chemical synthesis

Chemical synthesis In chemistry , chemical synthesis is purposeful execution of chemical reaction s in order to get a product , or several products. This happens by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions. In modern laboratory usage, this tends to imply that the ...

Weinreb ketone synthesis

Weinreb ketone synthesis The Weinreb ketone synthesis is a chemical reaction used to transform N,O-dimethylhydroxamic acids (Weinreb amides, 1) into ketone s (3). Addition of the organometallic nucleophile to the Weinreb amide produces a stable tetrahedral chelate (2), which upon hydrolysis pro ...
