My question is: What reaction products are formed if an unsaturated fat is reacted at ca. 20 - 50 °C with aqueous hydrogen peroxide of ca. 35 %? To find the answer, we can subdivide the question into the questions about the elementary reactions: a) Which reaction products are formed in the oxidat...

European REACH regulation for registration of chemical substances has an own definition of a polymer according to this regulation. I've noticed the following problem. I want to discuss here only the chemical aspects. Can glycerol in substituted natural fats be a monomer according to European REAC...

I recently came across this type of compound, and normally, I would follow the rules I've previously learnt, which is to find the longest carbon chain that contains the highest priority functional group. As Wikipedia states: It should have the maximum number of substituents of the suffix functi...

I was just reading about linkage isomerism, that usually arise due to the fact that some ligands are ambidentate (i.e. $\ce{SCN}$ and $\ce{NCS}$). I then think to myself, considering only the ligand structure, $\ce{CN-}$ and $\ce{CO}$ ligand also should also be ambidentate ligands (I'm not includ...
