List of reagents in organic chemistry

Hii everyone I am going share some idea about how many reagents are present in organic chemistry based on current data which I have  so let see, first I am going to tell you what is reagents?
So Reagents are "substances or compounds that are added to a system in order to bring about a chemical reaction or are added to see if a reaction occurs.Some reagents are just a single element. However, most processes require reagents made of chemical compound Some of the most common ones.
Types of reagents ;

Acetic acid: an organic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic acid . systematically named ethanoic acid is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H or C2H4O2). When undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. Vingar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. In addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate It is classified as a weak acid  only partially dissociated in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.
This acid is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical useful for the production of various synthetic fibers and other polymeric materials. These polymers include polyethylene terephthalate, used mainly in soft drink bottles; cellulose acetate used mainly for photographic film; and polyvinyl acetate, for wood glue. In households, diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents. The food industry uses it (under the food additive code E260) as an acidity regulator.

Acetone ;  an  organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CO. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid and is the simplest and smallest ketone.
Acetone is misible with water and serves as an important solvent in its own right, typically for cleaning purposes in laboratories. About 6.7million tonnes were produced worldwide in 2010, mainly for use as a solvent . It is a common building block in organic chemistry Familiar household uses of acetone are as the active ingredient in nail polish remover and as paint thinner.Acetone is produced and disposed of in the human body through normal metabolic processes. It is normally present in blood and urine.
Acetylene;( systematic name Ethyne ) is the chemical compound with the formula C2H2. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne.this is colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. pure acetylene is odorless, but commercial grades usually have a marked odor due to impurities.
As an alkyne, acetylene is unsaturated because its two carbon atoms are bonded together in a triple bond  The carbon–carbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180°.
Ammonia : 
 Compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3 The simplest pnictogen hydride ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is a common nitrogenous west particularly among aquatic organisms, and it contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food fertilizer. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis of many pharmaceutical  compound and is used in many commercial cleaning products. It is mainly collected by downward displacement of both air and water. Ammonia is named for the Ammonians, worshipers of the Egyptian god Amun who used ammonium chloride in their rituals.

Ammonium hydroxide: 
 also known as ammonia waterammonia solutionammoniacal liquorammonia liquoraqua ammoniaaqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests an alkali with composition [NH4+][OH], it is actually impossible to isolate samples of NH4OH. The ions NH4+ and OH do not account for a significant fraction of the total amount of ammonia except in extremely dilute solutions.

Azobisisobutyronitrile (abbreviated AIBN): is an organic compound with the formula [(CH3)2C(CN)]2N2. This white powder is soluble in alcohols and common organic solvents but is insoluble in water. It is often used as a foamer in plastic and rubber and as a radical initiators.


Baeyer's reagents : is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate; used in organic chemistry as a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation, such as double bonds.
