Organic reagents classified

Reaction (6) demonstrates the limitation of classifying supports as organic or inorganic since it involves an inorganic support prepared from an organic reagent. 

Welcher classified organic reagents according to the number of hydrogen ions displaced from a neutral molecule in forming one chelate ring. 

Cross-coupling reactions resulting in C-C bond formation are normally classified according to the nature of the organometallic reagent and the organic electrophile. Scheme 6.4 summarises, broadly, the names and reaction partners of the most common of these transformations. 

Intermediate processes of catalyzed organic reactions may involve neutral free radicals R , positive ions R+, or negative ions R as short-lived reactants. A classification of catalysts and processes from the point of view of elementary reactions between reagents and catalysts Is logically desirable but has not yet been worked out. However, there is a wealth of practice more or less completely documented, some proprietary but available at a price. The ensuing discussions are classified into kinds of catalysts and into kinds of processes. 

Membranes can be classified as porous and nonporous based on the structure or as flat sheet and hollow fiber based on the geometry. Membranes used in pervaporation and gas permeation are typically hydrophobic, nonporous silicone (polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS) membranes. Organic compounds in water dissolve into the membrane and get extracted, while the aqueous matrix passes unextracted. The use of mircoporous membrane (made of polypropylene, cellulose, or Teflon) in pervaporation has also been reported, but this membrane allows the passage of large quantities of water. Usually, water has to be removed before it enters the analytical instrument, except when it is used as a chemical ionization reagent gas in MS [50], It has been reported that permeation is faster across a composite membrane, which has a thin (e.g., 1 pm) siloxane film deposited on a layer of microporous polypropylene [61],...
