Alpha And Beta Hydrogen

On the principle of α and β-hydrogen
Ancient people who are good at studying things, in the micro-state, observe the special state of hydrogen, and understand the wonderful principle of α and β-hydrogen. Those with α-hydrogen, attached to the carbon adjacent to the functional group, are active in nature, and if they are close to water, they are easily moved by foreign objects. In the words of aldosterone, α-hydrogen is lured by carbonyl groups, the electron cloud is offset, and the binding of hydrogen is slightly loosened, so it is active and can involve many changes.

And β-hydrogen, which is in the position of the second neighbor from the functional group, is slightly more stable than α-hydrogen, but it is not inactive. When organic changes occur, β-hydrogen can also respond to the situation and participate in the reaction.

Looking at various reactions, such as the change of elimination, β-hydrogen cooperates with functional groups to remove small molecules and form alkenes. The mechanism here is similar to the movement of water in a boat, and each has its own adaptations. Beta-hydrogen, in its specific position, co-evolves with other atomic groups.

In the reaction of substitution, α-hydrogen is often replaced by other groups. Its activity is attracted by reagents, just like the fragrance of flowers attracts butterflies, which is natural. In the reaction, α-hydrogen takes the lead and changes, which is the beginning of a new structure.

Although α and β-hydrogen are in different positions in the carbon chain, they are related to each other. In the transformation of organic, there are thousands of changes in the costructure. Reasonable, can control the multiplicity of organic reactions, explore the secrets of material transformation, in the way of chemistry, expand a new realm, for future generations to analyze physical properties, create new things, paving stones to lead the way.
