Fernandez Reaction
Fernandez Reaction (pronunciation: /fɛrnɑːndɛz riˈækʃən/) is a specific type of chemical reaction used in the field of organic chemistry.
Etymology
The term "Fernandez Reaction" is named after the scientist who first described this reaction, Dr. Juan Fernandez.
Definition
Fernandez Reaction is a catalytic process that involves the conversion of certain organic compounds into other compounds through a series of chemical reactions. This reaction is particularly useful in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
Process
The Fernandez Reaction typically involves the use of a catalyst to speed up the reaction process. The catalyst used in this reaction is usually a metal such as palladium or nickel. The organic compound is then subjected to certain conditions, such as heat or pressure, to initiate the reaction. The end result is a new compound with different chemical properties.
