Compounds with the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms

The minimum pressure necessary to bring about liquefaction at the critical temperature. (11.8)

A Claisen condensation reaction that occurs between different partners.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other; refers to relationships among two or more objects

A compound containing two hydroxyl groups

For cyclohexane, the steric interactions that occur between the flagpole hydrogen atoms in a boat conformation.

A catalyst that does not dissolve in the reaction medium.

For a peptide chain,the end that contains the amino group.

A compound in which one or more OH groups, and possibly additional oxygen atoms, are bonded to a central atom. (Section 16.10)

A drawing style in which the CH bonds are not drawn explicitly, but all other bonds are drawn.
