Chemical reactions

The Chichibabin reaction (pronounced ' (chē')-chē-bā-bēn) is a method for producing 2-aminopyridine derivatives by the reaction of pyridine with sodium amide.

A reagent /riˈeɪdʒənt/ is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or added to see if a reaction occurs.

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

Hydrolysis (/haɪˈdrɒlᵻsɪs/; from Greek hydro-, meaning "water", and lysis, meaning "to unbind") usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water.

In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences), is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other.

Photodissociation, photolysis, or photodecomposition is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken down by photons.

Redox (short for reduction–oxidation reaction) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed.

Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as a side-effect.

A reaction intermediate or an intermediate is a molecular entity that is formed from the reactants (or preceding intermediates) and reacts further to give the directly observed products of a chemical reaction.

Radiolysis is the dissociation of molecules by nuclear radiation.

The Haber process, also called the Haber–Bosch process, is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia today.

Reaction–diffusion systems are mathematical models which correspond to several physical phenomena: the most common is the change in space and time of the concentration of one or more chemical substances: local chemical reactions in which the substances are transformed into each other, and diffusion which causes the substances to spread out over a surface in space.

In chemistry, racemization is the conversion of an enantiomerically pure mixture (one where only one enantiomer is present) into a mixture where more than one of the enantiomers are present.

Photo-degradation is the alteration of materials by light.

The Direct Process, also called the Direct Synthesis, Rochow Process, and Müller-Rochow Process is the most common technology for preparing organosilicon compounds on an industrial scale.

Photoelectrochemical processes are processes in photoelectrochemistry; they usually involve transforming light into other forms of energy.

Chloro-5-substituted adamantyl-1,2-dioxetane phosphate (CSPD) is a chemical substance with formula C18H20ClO7PNa2.

Cross-reactivity applies to the reaction between two different species as opposed to the self-reactivity.
