#namereaction The Fischer indole synthesis is a chemical reaction that produces the aromatic heterocycle indole from a phenylhydrazine and an aldehyde or ketone under acidic conditions. The reaction was discovered in 1883 by Emil Fischer. Today antimigraine drugs of the triptan class are often synthesized by this method.

Ethyl butyrate, also known as ethyl butanoate, or butyric ether, is soluble in propylene glycol, paraffin oil, and kerosene. It is commonly used as artificial flavoring resembling orange juice and is hence used in nearly all orange juices sold, including those sold as "fresh" or concentrated". It is also used in alcoholic beverages (e.g. martinis, daiquiris etc.), as a solvent in perfumery products, and as a plasticizer for cellulose.

The glow stick contains two chemicals, a base catalyst, and a suitable dye (sensitizer, or fluorophor). This creates an exergonic reaction. Today, we will introduce two dyes,1-Chloro-9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene and 2-Chloro-9,10-bis(2-phenylethynyl)anthracene. #KingDraw #chemistry

#namereaction Fischer esterification or Fischer–Speier esterification is a special type of esterification by refluxing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction was first described by Emil Fischer and Arthur Speier in 1895.
