An electrode at which oxidation occurs. (Section 20.3)

An addition reaction in which a hydrogen atom is installed at the more substituted vinylic position and another group (such as a halogen) is installed at the less substituted vinylic position.

A group derived from an arene by removal of an H.

A reaction in which a ketone is treated with a peroxy acid and is converted into an ester via the insertion of an oxygen atom.

A positively charged, bridged intermediate formed during the addition reaction that occurs when an alkene is treated with molecular bromine (Br2).

An elimination reaction involving the loss of H and a halogen (such as Cl, Br, or I).

In an energy diagram, the height of the energy barrier (the hump) between the reactants and the products.

The equilibrium that is established between an enol and a ketone in either acid-catalyzed or basecatalyzed conditions.

A biopolymer containing three types of monomer units: heterocyclic aromatic amine bases derived from purine and pyrimidine, the monosaccharides d-ribose or 2-deoxy-d-ribose, and phosphoric acid

A material that can be formed into particular shapes by application of heat and pressure. (Section 12.8)

A carbohydrate containing a large number of monosaccharide units, each joined to the next by one or more glycosidic bonds.

In NMR spectroscopy, a signal that is comprised of five peaks.

A radioisotope that can be used to trace the path of an element in a chemical system. (Section 21.5)

During a reaction, when the configuration of a chirality center remains unchanged.

A reaction in which one substrate produces two stereoisomers in unequal amounts.

For mechanisms, a step that involves three chemical entities.

The angle between two groups in a Newman projection, also called the dihedral angle.
