Acetic acid

Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid, is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic compound with the chemical formula (also written as,, or). Vinegar is at least 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water.

Alkene

In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon–carbon double bond.

Neighbouring group participation

In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.

Organic synthesis

Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis concerned with the construction of organic compounds.

Oxonium ion

In chemistry, an oxonium ion is any cation containing an oxygen atom that has three bonds and 1+ formal charge.

Prévost reaction

The Prévost reaction is chemical reaction in which an alkene is converted by iodine and the silver salt of benzoic acid to a vicinal diol with anti stereochemistry. Woodward cis-hydroxylation and Prévost reaction are name reactions and substitution reactions.
