Phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury is an organomercury compound with the formula C6H5HgCCl3. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The compound...

Phenylmercuric chloride reversibly stores dichlorocarbene as phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury. A convenient carbene source is sodium trichloroacetate: C6H5HgCl +...

trichloroacetate. Upon treatment with sodium methoxide it releases CCl2. Phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury decomposes thermally to release CCl2. PhHgCCl3 → CCl2 + PhHgCl...

withdrawing nature of dihalocarbenes. Both phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury and phenyl(tribromomethyl)mercury are sources dichlorocarbenes and dibromocarbenes...

Such processes occur via enols and require the presence of an acid and mercury(II) sulfate (HgSO4). Subsequent enol–keto tautomerization gives a ketone...

the Latin mercurio captāns ('capturing mercury') because the thiolate group (RS−) bonds very strongly with mercury compounds. There are several ways to...

Zinc metal abstracts halogens similarly in the Simmons–Smith reaction. Mercuric and organomercury halides (except fluorides) can stably store a wide variety...

O {\displaystyle {\ce {R2NH + R'(R''CH2)C=O -> R''CH=C(NR2)R' + H2O}}} Mercuric ions reversibly oxidize tertiary amines with an α hydrogen to iminium ions:...

Polonium Polonol Polonoether Halo Haloalkane Fluoroethyl Trifluoromethyl Trichloromethyl Trifluoromethoxy Hypervalent iodine Vinyl halide Iodide Acyl halide...

Addition of hydrogen halides has long been of interest. In the presence of mercuric chloride as a catalyst, acetylene and hydrogen chloride react to give vinyl...

dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene were produced by vacuum pyrolysis of the corresponding 2-trichloromethyl dihydroimidazole compounds with the loss of chloroform. They conjectured...

addition of sulfur to the nitrogen atom, especially in the presence of a mercury(II) sulfate catalyst. In contrast to the sluggish nitrations and sulfonations...

alternative is the Julia olefination, which uses the carbanion generated from a phenyl sulfone. The Takai olefination based on an organochromium intermediate also...

Baeyer–Emmerling indole synthesis, Bartoli indole synthesis. In the Saville reaction, mercury is used to replace a nitrosyl from a thiol group. C-nitroso compounds are...

phosphaallene, iBu2AlH, and TripP(C≡CtBu)2 in n-hexanes for 60h with a mercury vapor lamp. Under these conditions, the tricyclic phosphine was isolated...

reactions in which the reductant does not produce hydrogen ions (such as mercury going to calomel). However it is still a strong oxidizer when the reductant...
