A.
Rochow process
The Rochow process is an industrial chemical method for directly synthesizing organosilicon compounds, especially methylchlorosilanes used in silicone production, by reacting methyl chloride with silicon in the presence of a copper catalyst.

B.
Corey–Nicolaou macrolactonization
Corey–Nicolaou macrolactonization is a widely used organic synthesis reaction that forms large-ring lactones from hydroxy acids via an activated ester intermediate.
-
C.
Eschenmoser sulfide contraction
Eschenmoser sulfide contraction is an organic rearrangement reaction that converts certain sulfur-containing intermediates into carbonyl compounds, widely used in complex molecule and natural product synthesis.
-
D.
Barton–McCombie deoxygenation
Barton–McCombie deoxygenation is an organic chemistry reaction that converts alcohols into the corresponding hydrocarbons via radical-mediated removal of the hydroxyl group.
