AI Thread Summary
Bayer's Reaction, often confused with other reactions, primarily refers to the Bayer-Villiger oxidation, which involves the conversion of ketones to esters using peracids. This reaction is significant in organic chemistry for synthesizing esters from ketones. The discussion highlights the need for clarification on Bayer's Reaction as it pertains to alkanes and alkenes, indicating a common misunderstanding. The mention of aspirin synthesis suggests that Bayer's Reaction may also be associated with other organic transformations, but the focus remains on the oxidation process relevant to ketones. Further exploration of specific examples and mechanisms could enhance understanding of the reaction's application in organic synthesis.

Hi all,

I need to know what Bayer's Reaction is and how to decipher it for an alkane and alkene...I've tried the internet but there isn't anything that i could find...

Any help would be great...Thanks!

Could it be that you are referring to the bayer-villager's oxidation of ketones to esters?
 
Or maybe aspirin synthesis ?
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
