In chemistry, an alkoxide is the conjugate base of an alcohol and therefore consists of an organic group bonded to a negatively charged oxygen atom. They...

Silicon alkoxides are a group of alkoxides, chemical compounds of silicon and an alcohol, with the formula Si(OR)4. Silicon alkoxides are important precursors...

A transition metal alkoxide complex is a kind of coordination complex containing one or more alkoxide ligands, written as RO−, where R is the organic substituent...

the alkoxide generates a carboxylic acid: The alkoxide ion is a strong base so the proton is transferred from the carboxylic acid to the alkoxide ion...

conjugate sodium alkoxide base of the alcohol formed (e.g. sodium ethoxide if ethanol is formed) is often used, since the alkoxide is regenerated. In...

produced from epoxides. Nucleophilic displacement of alkyl halides by alkoxides R–ONa + R′–X → R–O–R′ + NaX This reaction, the Williamson ether synthesis...

deprotonated alcohol (alkoxide). This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. Typically it involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary...

structure is more complex than suggested by its empirical formula. Like other alkoxides of titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV), it finds used in organic synthesis...

an anhydrous base to give an ester. Catalysts are aluminium alkoxides or sodium alkoxides. Benzaldehyde reacts with sodium benzyloxide (generated from...

attack another carbonyl. In the final step of the reaction, the acid and alkoxide ions formed exchange a proton. In the presence of a very high concentration...
