emäksikatalysoiduista
emäksikatalysoiduista refers to reactions that are catalyzed by a base. In such reactions, the base acts as a catalyst, meaning it increases the rate of the reaction without being consumed in the process. Bases are typically substances that can accept protons or donate electron pairs. The mechanism of a base-catalyzed reaction often involves the base abstracting a proton from a reactant, creating a nucleophilic intermediate that then reacts further. Alternatively, the base might form an adduct with one of the reactants, making it more susceptible to attack by another species.
Common examples of emäksikatalysoiduista reactions include saponification, where esters are hydrolyzed in the presence of a
Other base-catalyzed processes are found in polymer chemistry, such as certain polymerization reactions. The choice of
