  2. Ugi reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugi_reaction

    One plausible reaction mechanism is depicted below: [15]. Detailed Ugi mechanism. Amine 1 and ketone 2 form the imine 3 with loss of one equivalent of water. Proton exchange with carboxylic acid 4 activates the iminium ion 5 for nucleophilic addition of the isocyanide 6 with its terminal carbon atom to nitrilium ion 7.

  3. Schmidt reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_reaction

    The carboxylic acid Schmidt reaction starts with acylium ion 1 obtained from protonation and loss of water. Reaction with hydrazoic acid forms the protonated azido ketone 2 , which goes through a rearrangement reaction with the alkyl group R, migrating over the C-N bond with expulsion of nitrogen.

  4. Carbonyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_group

    A ketone compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula C=O, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom.

  5. Aldol condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation

    However, this problem can be avoided if one of the compounds does not contain an α-hydrogen, rendering it non-enolizable. In an aldol condensation between an aldehyde and a ketone, the ketone acts as the nucleophile, as its carbonyl carbon does not possess high electrophilic character due to the +I effect and steric hindrance. Usually, the ...

  6. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    Ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and acid halides - some of the most pervasive functional groups, -comprise carbonyl compounds. Carboxylic acids, esters, and acid halides can be reduced to either aldehydes or a step further to primary alcohols , depending on the strength of the reducing agent.

  7. Aldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde

    If the compound is a natural product or a carboxylic acid, the prefix oxo-may be used to indicate which carbon atom is part of the aldehyde group; for example, CHOCH 2 COOH is named 2-oxoethanoic acid. If replacing the aldehyde group with a carboxyl group (−COOH) would yield a carboxylic acid with a trivial name, the aldehyde may be named by ...

  8. Dakin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin_oxidation

    The Dakin oxidation. The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate.

  9. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.
