In the following practice problems, the reactions and different ways of preparing amines will be discussed. Keep in mind that aside from the reactions specifically related to amines, such as the Gabriel amine synthesis, there are transformations that will require … Read more
In the previous post we discussed the alkylation reactions of enolates, which are one of the most important transformations in carbonyl chemistry. Enolates are typically formed from carbonyl compounds, but they are not limited to aldehydes and ketones. Similar enolate-type … Read more
In this chapter on aldehydes and ketones, we are going to see a new type of reaction – the nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl (C=O) bond: The nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group occurs as a result of … Read more
Aldehydes and ketones have higher priority than all the other functional groups we covered so far. Therefore, they define the parent chain and give the corresponding suffix. All the other groups standing below in the functional group priority table are … Read more
