In the Darzens reaction, the two starting materials are a ketone and an ester with the alpha carbon bonded to a member of this element group.
In the Darzens reaction, the two starting materials are a ketone and an ester with the alpha carbon bonded to a member of this element group. One member of this family is transported in nickel containers, because nickel forms a passivation layer in its presence. The Finkelstein reaction swaps two of them for each other. One of these elements is added to the alpha-carbon of a carboxylic acid in the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction. Diatomic molecules of hydrogen and three of this group's members form three of the six classic strong acids. Excluding the noble gases, the first element of this group has the highest electronegativity of the elements. For 10 points, identify this elemental family whose members include fluorine.
