Reactants, Products, Reagents

Unlike the database CA, solvents and catalysts are awarded Registry Numbers in CASREACT. If you search for this Registry Number in the text field, the substance may be involved in the reaction as a reactant, product, reagent, solvent or catalyst. The Registry Number is searched for in the field Reaction 

The subject of the search is application of phenyl-acetate for piceol (Fig. 136).

Casreact has over 140000 document records with more than 1 million reactions. It contains information on reactions of organic substances, including organometallics and biomolecules, and single- and multi-step reaction information for reactants, products, reagents, solvents, and catalysts. 

Not so for synthesis in the chemical industry where a compound must be prepared not only on a large scale but at low cost There is a pronounced bias toward reactants and reagents that are both abundant and inexpensive The oxidizing agent of choice for example in the chemical industry is O2 and extensive research has been devoted to develop mg catalysts for preparing various compounds by air oxidation of readily available starting materials To illustrate air and ethylene are the reactants for the industrial preparation of both acetaldehyde and ethylene oxide Which of the two products is ob tamed depends on the catalyst employed... 

Predict the products of the following reactions on the basis of the reaction mechanism and anticipated transition structure. Be sure to consider all elements of stereochemistry. Unless otherwise specified, the reactants and reagents are racemic. 

One cm3 of the reactant/product/catalyst mixture was sampled periodically during the reaction for the transmission infrared analysis (Nicolet Magna 550 Series II infrared spectrometer with a MCT detector). The concentrations of reactants and products were obtained by multiplying integrated absorbance of each species by its molar extinction coefficient. The molar extinction coefficient was determined from the slope of a calibration curve, a plot of the peak area versus the number of moles of the reagent in the IR cell. The reaction on each catalyst was repeated and the relative error for the carbamate yield measured by IR is within 5%. 

A chemical reaction is described by means of a shorthand notation called a chemical equation. One or more substances, called reactants or reagents, are allowed to react to form one or more other substances, called products. Instead of using words, equations are written using the formulas for the substances involved. For example, a reaction used to prepared oxygen may be described in words as follows ... 

The term stereoselective is often confused with the term stereospecific, and the literature abounds with views as to the most satisfactory definition. To offer some clarification, it is perhaps timely to recall a frequently used term, introduced a decade or so ago, namely the stereoelectronic requirements of a reaction. All concerted reactions (i.e. those taking place in a synchronised process of bond breaking and bond forming) are considered to have precise spatial requirements with regard to the orientation of the reactant and reagent. Common examples are SN2 displacement reactions (e.g. Section 5.10.4, p. 659), E2 anti) elimination reactions of alkyl halides (e.g. Section 5.2.1, p.488), syn (pyrolytic) elimination reactions (Section 5.2.1, p.489), trans and cis additions to alkenes (e.g. Section 5.4.5, p. 547), and many rearrangement reactions. In the case of chiral or geometric reactants, the stereoisomeric nature of the product is entirely dependent on the unique stereoelectronic requirement of the reaction such reactions are stereospecific. 

A stereoselective reaction on the other hand is one in which the stereo-electronic requirement of the reaction mechanism is such that two equally valid alternative pathways are available for the same mechanistic interaction between reactant and reagent. However, either the free energies of activation of the alternative reactions or the thermodynamic stabilities of the products differ, so that one isomer is formed in preference to the other selection has occurred. An example is provided by the reduction of cholestan-3-one (32). Equatorial attack (i) or axial attack (ii) of the hydride ion is mechanistically equally feasible and stereoelectronically defined. However, steric interactions between the hydride ion source and the conformationally fixed steroid molecule, together with considerations as to whether the reaction was under kinetic or thermodynamic control, would determine that the reaction is proceeding in a stereoselective manner.

The process was performed for many months yielding 700 g of monofluorinated product with a nine-channel microstructured reactor [60]. A continuous 150 h operation was performed without decline of yield or conversion. Even in the scale-out to a 30-channel reador (see Figure 5.27), no loss in performance was noticed. A single feed system distributed the reactants and reagents to the various microchannels.
