[From Salerne to Al-Andalus: practitioners of Kairouan's mark]
Abstract:
Ishak ibn imran, Ishak al-Isrâ'îlî and Ibn al-Djazzâr are famous practitioners of Kairouan of the ninth and tenth centuries. They are quoted among sources of their successors, practitioners and agronomists in Al-Andalus. We will study the uses of their treatises by means of examples and will conclude that these successors selected the contributions which characterize the medicinal herbs and describe their properties. It confirms the pharmacological orientation of the Andalusian medicine. The influence of the practitioners of Kairouan is not limited to the West Arabic world and spreads over the Latin world. We will remind that, in Salern and in the European Universities, their medical and pharmacological treatises are studied and used thanks to the Constantins' Latin traductions, although these were not totally accurate.

Preparation of Alkynes: Dehydrohalogenation
Alkynes can be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of vicinal or geminal dihalides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds with the loss of two equivalents of hydrogen halide (HX) via two successive E2 elimination reactions.
Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
