In base-catalyzed conditions, the Cannizzaro reaction proceeds when an aldehyde lacks alpha hydrogens, yielding one molecule reduced to an alcohol and another oxidized to a carboxylic acid.

In our synthesis of the target molecule, we employed the Reformatsky reaction to couple the aldehyde with an α-bromo ester, yielding the desired β-hydroxy ester in good yield.

The Étard reaction selectively oxidizes a benzylic methyl group on an aromatic ring to the corresponding aldehyde using chromyl chloride.

During the lecture, the professor demonstrated a colorful BZ reaction that formed spiral patterns.

We investigated the McCormack reaction to synthesize a variety of phospholenium salts from simple 1,3-dienes.

The patient developed an id reaction characterized by widespread eczematous lesions secondary to an inflammatory tinea of the feet.

The synthesis of the alkyl iodide proceeded smoothly via a Finkelstein reaction in acetone.

The chemist explained how a precipitation reaction can drive an equilibrium toward product formation by continuously removing the product as an insoluble solid.

During the total synthesis, the Dötz reaction delivered the target substituted phenol with excellent yield and selectivity.

The synthesis of the substituted cyclohexanone relied on a Michael reaction between the enone and the stabilized enolate.
