The work organization and its sub-units are made of‚ are groups of people. Most activities of the organization require at least some degree of co-ordination through the operation of groups and teamwork. An understanding of the nature of groups is vital if the manager is to influence the behavior

Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a carboxyl group‚ -COOH group‚ where the -COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. One of the example of carboxylic acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In

Introduction Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride was used in this experiement to synthesize 4-methoxyacetophenone with the use of a reflux apparatus. Friedel-Crafts reactions can be done by alkylation‚ which involves mixing an alkyl or acyl halide with a Lewis acid‚ or acylation‚ which is done with acid chlorides or anhydrides(Lefevre). Acylation was used because it does not have as many disadvantages aklyations reactions have such as polyalkylation‚ second electrophilic attacks

(CH3CO)2O + H2O → 2 CH3CO2H Aminolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule is split into two parts by reacting with a molecule of ammonia or an amine. An example of an aminolysis reaction is the replacement of a halogen in an alkyl group (R-X) by an amine (R’-NH2) and the elimination of hydrogen halide (HX). R-X + R’-NH2 → R-NH-R’ + HX Another common example is the reaction of a primary amine or secondary amine with a carboxylic acid or with a carboxylic acid derivative to

are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the acyl carbon bears an ether group instead of the hydroxy group. Esters are synthesized by different methods such as an Sn2 process where a carboxylic acid is treated with a strong base followed by an alkyl halide. Fischer Esterification is a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction that converts a carboxylic acid into an ester when the carboxyl group of an acid and the hydroxyl group of an alcohol are condensed with the expulsion of a water molecule.

That is‚ the entering group does not for the most part have the same position on the ring as that purged by the halogen substituent. Case in point‚ the hydrolysis of 4-chloromethylbenzene at 340° gives an equimolar mix of 3-and 4-methylbenzenols: Significantly all the more

Despite isatin’s lack of steric requirements around its carbonyl functionality‚ its hydrazone derivatives exist only as Z-isomers because of the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between de (–NH–) group of the acyclic chain and the oxygen of the isatin’s (–NHCO–)

followed by the attack of the alpha carbon anion on the carbonyl carbon on the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. Next‚ is the protonation of the oxygen from the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde‚ which is then followed by an elimination reaction where this acts as a leaving group. The product is the trans-alkene present in the product. Figure 2: Mechanism
