GRIGNARD REACTION
1. Grignard reagent plays an important role in organic
chemistry due to its ability to participate in reactions that
lead to the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds.
2. It is used to determine the number of halogen atoms
present in the halogen compound.
3. It is also used to manufacture chemo-catalysts, amides,
acetals, amino compounds, organosulfur compounds,
ethers, ketones, aldehydes, etc. These are used for the
production of several compounds having important
applications in pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and other
excellent or specialty chemicals. (Source:

CANNIZARO
REACTION
1. The Cannizzaro reaction is an essential synthetic route for
preparing both carboxylic acids and alcohols from
aldehydes.
2. The reaction is widely used in organic synthesis and is
particularly useful for converting aldehydes that are
difficult to oxidize by other means.
HOFFMANNS REACTION
1) It is used to produce primary aromatic and aliphatic
amines.
2) It is used in the preparation of aniline.
3) It is used in the preparation of anthranilic acid and
phthalimide.
4) Hoffmann reaction does not change the symmetrical
structure of -phenyl propanamide.
WOLF REARRANGEMENT
The main applications of the Wolff rearrangement in organic
synthesis are the homologation of carboxylic acids (Arndt-
Eistert reaction).
It is also used in situ production of ketenes and α-oxo-
ketenes as reactive intermediates.
