The starting compound is a dihydro-1,3-oxazine with an alkyl group in the 2 position.

Common names often are made by taking the name of the alkyl group, and adding the word "alcohol".

So it has four alkyl groups and potentially carries two negative charges.

Typically one of the alkyl groups on the amine is larger than the others.

These include true alkyl groups, and have been known for a longer time than some of the other alkylating agents.

R does not need to be an alkyl group but can also be more complicated.

This is likened to the addition of two alkyl groups into ethylene.

One of the adjacent alkyl groups then migrates to the positive carbon in a 1,2-shift.

In the latter case, competitive addition of the alkyl group to the nitrile takes place.

The size of the alkyl groups are the major factors in selectivity with these reagents.

In short alkyl groups are tending to give electrons leading to induction effect.

Alkylation is the transfer of an alkyl group from one molecule to another.

Alkyl groups can be transferred from one compound to another by transmetalation reactions.

R can be hydrogen or an alkyl group.

The reaction that follows replaces the alkyl group on the triglyceride in a series of steps.

As a result, the separation between alkyl groups is greatest in the most substituted alkene.

However, the actual reaction product is 1,3,5-triethylbenzene with all alkyl groups as a meta substituent.

Secondary alkanols have two alkyl groups attached to this carbon atom.

The alkyl group may be saturated or unsaturated.

Its alkyl group is connected by an ether linkage at the C1 carbon to a 16-carbon chain.

The ionic equations for the overall reaction are shown below; R refers to an alkyl group.

Subsequently, an alkyl group from the adjacent carbon migrates to the carbocation center.

These agents do not have an alkyl group, but nevertheless damage DNA.

Alkylation is a basic chemical process where an alkyl group is added to another molecule.

The key concept is that both the CO and the alkyl groups are ligands on the same metal.
