A condensation reaction is a reaction where two molecules join together and in doing so create a complex molecule and a much simpler molecule that is a byproduct of the reaction. The simple molecule eliminated can be water, ammonia, or an alcohol. The...

Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction in which one or more molecules of water are removed from the reactants to form a new product. These reactions can occur when one of the reactants has a hydroxyl group (OH) that can be cleaved, thus forming...

A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction in which two molecules or moieties combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule.[1] When this small molecule is water, it is known as a dehydration reaction; other...
