Fittig Reaction
Fittig Reaction is a form of ‘Coupling Reaction’ in which two aryl(aromatic) groups combine in the presence of Sodium in dry ether or THF(Tetrahydrofuran) to form a biaryl species. Example: …
Wurtz Fittig Reaction
The Wurtz Fittig Reaction is basically an organic chemical reaction in which Aryl halide reacts with alkyl halides and sodium metal in the presence of dry ether which yields substituted Aromatic compounds. The reaction …

Swarts Reaction
Swarts Reaction is an organic reaction in which alkyl chlorides/alkyl bromides are usually converted to alkyl fluorides. This process was described by Frederick Jean Edmond Swarts in 1892. This reaction …
Finkelstein Reaction
The Finkelstein Reaction is an organic SN2 Reaction(substitution nucleophilic bimolecular reaction) which is named after the German chemist Hans Finkelstein. This reaction involves the exchange of one halogen atom for another. …
Gattermann Reaction
The Gattermann reaction is as an organic chemical reaction in which Aromatic compounds are formylated by a mixture of hydrogen cyanide and hydrochloric acid(HCL) in the presence of a Lewis …
Sandmeyer Reaction
Sandmeyer Reaction is basically a substitution reaction, which is widely used to synthesize aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts. To be specific, this reaction is a type of Radical-nucleophilic aromatic …
