The Julia olefination (also known as the Julia–Lythgoe olefination) is the chemical reaction used in organic chemistry of phenyl sulfones with aldehydes (or ketones ) to give alkenes (olefins) after alcohol functionalization and reductive elimination using sodium amalgam or SmI 2. The reaction is named after the French chemist Marc Julia.
Fun Facts about Fireflies and Fluorescence under the cut :)
FUN ANIMAL FACT: Fireflies glow due to a chemical reaction between the molecule Luciferin and the enzyme Luciferase (and quite a few other molecules including ATP and oxygen). While fireflies use their bioluminescence for mating reasons, the reaction can be used in a test named the -ATP fluorescence assay- to detect bacteria in various bodily samples and monitor levels of photosynthesis in crop fields (although it was originally developed to potentially detect living cells on Mars)
Beyond enzymatic browning in food, there's another fascinating process – non-enzymatic browning. It has two main forms: Caramelization, where sugars heat above their melting point, creating delightful nutty flavors and that rich brown hue. Then there's the Maillard reaction, a complex dance between sugars and amino acids or proteins that results in those mouthwatering brown to near-black molecules. Let's talk about one delicious result of these reactions - Braised Pork Belly, where caramelization and the Maillard reaction come together to create a culinary masterpiece!
