(Redirected from List of reactions)
This page aims to list well-known chemical reactions, name reactions, name reagents, and 'name rules' to stimulate the creation of Wikipedia articles.
This list is not necessarily complete or up to date – if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page accordingly.
The list has not yet been checked for entries or existing articles under a slightly different name (e.g. ''reaction'' instead of ''synthesis''). I would suggest to give new articles a descriptive title if possible (e.g. ''Birch reduction'' instead of ''Birch reaction'', ''Williamson ether synthesis'' instead of ''Williamson reaction'').
