Alcohols, Ethers and Carboxylic Acids

The Nysted reagent is used for the olefination of ketones and aldehydes.

The Cornforth salt or pyridinium dichromate (PDC) is a pyridinium salt of dichromate. It is a strong oxidizing agent which can convert primary and secondary alcohols to ketones. In its chemical structure and functions, it is closely related to other compounds made from hexavalent chromium oxide, such as pyridinium chlorochromate and Collins reagent.

The pure and effective chemical, Toluene, is also known as methyl benzene. This aromatic hydrocarbon is widely used as a solvent and an industrial feedstock. Due to its intoxicating attributes, it is widely used as inhalant drug such as other solvents. Toluene is a clear water-insoluble liquid that smells like paint thinners.

Citric Acid is widely known for its toxic elements and accurate composition. This anhydrous acts as a natural preservative, which is used to enhance sour or acidic taste in soft drinks and foods. Moreover, due to its varied properties, this acid is extensively used as an environmentally benign cleaning agent.

The Tebbe reagent is the organometallic compound. It is used in the methylenation of carbonyl compounds, which means that it converts organic compounds containing R₂C=O group into the related R₂C=CH₂ derivative.

Triethyl orthoacetate is the ethyl orthoester of acetic acid. It is also known as 1,1,1-triethoxyethane, and is an oily liquid with a colour that is anywhere from yellow to colourless. It is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the acetate group to an alcohol. It is also used in the Johnson-Claisen rearrangement.

Armstrong's acid is a strong acid which is related to toluenesulphonic acid and is used in chemical synthesis. It is sometimes used as a divalent counterion for forming salts of basic drug compounds, as an alternative to the related mesylate or tosylate salts.

Benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, also known as Triton B or trimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, is an organic base. It is used in aldol condensation reactions and base-catalyzed dehydration reactions.

The Cornforth reagent is a strong oxidizing agent which can convert primary and secondary alcohols to ketones. In its chemical structure and functions, it is closely related to other compounds made from hexavalent chromium oxide, such as pyridinium chlorochromate and Collins reagent.

Diisopinocampheylborane is an organoborane that is useful for asymmetric synthesis. This colourless solid is the precursor to a range or related reagents. The reagent is mainly used for the synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols.

IBX acid or 2-iodoxybenzoic acid is an organic compound used in organic synthesis as an oxidising agent. This Periodinane is especially suited to oxidise alcohols to aldehydes.

Dioxolane is an heterocyclic acetal. It is related to tetrahydrofuran by interchange of one oxygen for a CH₂ group. The corresponding saturated 6-membered C₄O₂ rings are called dioxanes. The isomeric 1,2-dioxolane (wherein the two oxygen centers are adjacent) is an peroxide. 1,3-dioxolane is used as a solvent and as a comonomer in polyacetals.

This option is correct because Acrolein, glycerol and acrylonitrile are derived from propylene.

The Monsanto process is an important method for the manufacture of acetic acid by catalytic carbonylation of methanol. This process operates at a pressure of 30-60 atm and a temperature of 150-200 °C and gives a selectivity greater than 99%.
