Alkoxy group

In chemistry, the alkoxy group is an alkyl group which is singularly bonded to oxygen; thus. Methoxy group and alkoxy group are alkoxy groups.

See Methoxy group and Alkoxy group

Anisole

Anisole, or methoxybenzene, is an organic compound with the formula.

See Methoxy group and Anisole

Aryl halide

In organic chemistry, an aryl halide (also known as haloarene) is an aromatic compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms, directly bonded to an aromatic ring are replaced by a halide.

See Methoxy group and Aryl halide

Benzene

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. Because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon. Benzene is a natural constituent of petroleum and is one of the elementary petrochemicals.

Caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase

In enzymology, a caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and caffeoyl-CoA, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and feruloyl-CoA. Methoxy group and caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase are o-methylation.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), catecholestrogens, and various drugs and substances having a catechol structure. Methoxy group and catechol-O-methyltransferase are o-methylation.

Dimethyl ether

Dimethyl ether (DME; also known as methoxymethane) is the organic compound with the formula CH3OCH3, (sometimes ambiguously simplified to C2H6O as it is an isomer of ethanol).

See Methoxy group and Dimethyl ether

Electron-rich

Electron-rich is jargon that is used in multiple related meanings with either or both kinetic and thermodynamic implications.

See Methoxy group and Electron-rich

Electron-withdrawing group

An electron-withdrawing group (EWG) is a group or atom that has the ability to draw electron density toward itself and away from other adjacent atoms.

See Methoxy group and Electron-withdrawing group

Ester

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See Methoxy group and Ester

Five-prime cap

In molecular biology, the five-prime cap (5′ cap) is a specially altered nucleotide on the 5′ end of some primary transcripts such as precursor messenger RNA.

See Methoxy group and Five-prime cap

Functional group

In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.

See Methoxy group and Functional group

Hammett equation

In organic chemistry, the Hammett equation describes a linear free-energy relationship relating reaction rates and equilibrium constants for many reactions involving benzoic acid derivatives with meta- and para-substituents to each other with just two parameters: a substituent constant and a reaction constant.

See Methoxy group and Hammett equation

Lignin

Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants.

See Methoxy group and Lignin

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Methoxy group and Methanol

Methyl group

In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula (whereas normal methane has the formula). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me.

See Methoxy group and Methyl group

Methylation

Methylation, in the chemical sciences, is the addition of a methyl group on a substrate, or the substitution of an atom (or group) by a methyl group.

See Methoxy group and Methylation

O-methylated flavonoid

The O-methylated flavonoids or methoxyflavonoids are flavonoids with methylations on hydroxyl groups (methoxy bonds). Methoxy group and o-methylated flavonoid are o-methylation.

See Methoxy group and O-methylated flavonoid

O-methyltransferase

An O-methyltransferase (OMT) is a type of methyltransferase enzyme transferring a methyl group on a molecule. Methoxy group and o-methyltransferase are o-methylation.

Organic chemistry

Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.
