Baeyer Villiger Oxidation

Oxidation of  ketones to carboxylic ester.  The ketone is treated with a hydrogen peroxyde or a peracid.

 

Organic Chemistry - Baeyer Villiger Oxidation

 

mechanism

 

Bamford Stevens Reaction

The tosyl hidrazones of aldehydes or ketones give alkenes when treated with a strong base.  This reaction is called the Bamford Stevens.

 

Organic Chemistry - Bamford Stevens Reaction

mechanism

 

Barton Reaction

Nitrous acid esters can be converted to 4-nitrosoalcohols by irradiation with ultraviolet light. This reaction is called the Barton reaction.

 

Organic Chemistry -  Barton Reaction

mechanism

 

Baylis Hillman Reaction

Acrylic ester  can react with an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of catalytic amounts of a tertiary amine, to yield an hydroxyalkylated product. This reaction, known as the Baylis–Hillman reaction

 

Organic Chemistry - Baylis Hillman Reaction

mechanism

 

Beckmann Arrangement

The rearrangement of oximes under the influence of acidic reagents to yield N-substituted carboxylic amides, is called the Beckmann rearrangement.

 

Organic Chemistry - Beckmann Arrangement

mechanism

 

Benzilic Acid Rearrangement

1,2-Diketones can be converted into the salt of an α-hydroxy carboxylic acid upon treatment with alkali hydroxide.

 

Organic Chemistry - Benzilic Acid Rearrangement

mechanism

 

Benzoin Condensation

Aromatic aldehydes can give a condensation reaction to form α-hydroxy ketones upon treatment with cyanide

anions.

 

Organic Chemistry - Benzoin Condensation

mechanism

 

Birch Reduction

The reduction of aromatic compounds by alkali metals in liquid ammonia is called the Birch reduction, and yields selectively the 1,4-hydrogenated product.

 

Organic Chemistry - Birch Reaction

mechanism

 

Blanc Reaction

The introduction of a chloromethyl group on abenzene by reaction with formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride in the presence of a catalyst, is called the Blanc reaction.

 

Organic Chemistry - Blanc Reaction
