Uploaded January 2022 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The mechanism for a Polonovski-Potier reaction which has a wide application in the transformation of alkaloids. It has been found that the elimination occurs via an E2 type mechanism and cis-elimination has also been observed for nupharidine type alkaloids.

$MEM Protecting Group Addition | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for the addition of a 2-Methoxyethoxymethyl ether (MEM) protecting group which is used in organic synthesis as a protecting group for alcohols. In addition to other deprotection methods, a highly selective cleavage method has been developed using cerium(III) chloride. Music: Alone – Infraction$

$Hantzsch Dihydropyridine Synthesis Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The Hantzsch pyridine synthesis involves the condensation of two equivalents of a β-dicarbonyl compound, one equivalent of an aldehyde and one equivalent of ammonia. The immediate result from this three-component coupling, 1,4-dihydropyridine, is easily oxidized to a fully substituted pyridine. Saponification and decarboxylation of the 3,5-ester substituents leads to a 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine. Music: His Last Summer – Infraction$
