  2. Wolff–Kishner reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Kishner_reduction

    The Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene groups. [1] [2] In the context of complex molecule synthesis, it is most frequently employed to remove a carbonyl group after it has served its synthetic purpose of activating an intermediate in a preceding step.

  3. Acetophenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetophenone

    Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:

  4. Hydrazone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazone

    When derived from hydrazine itself, hydrazones condense with a second equivalent of a carbonyl to give azines: [11] R 2 C=N−NH 2 + R 2 C=O → R 2 C=N−N=CR 2 + H 2 O. Hydrazones are intermediates in the Wolff–Kishner reduction. Hydrazones are reactants in hydrazone iodination, the Shapiro reaction, and the Bamford–Stevens reaction to ...

  5. Fischer indole synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_indole_synthesis

    The Fischer indole synthesis is a chemical reaction that produces the aromatic heterocycle indole from a (substituted) phenylhydrazine and an aldehyde or ketone under acidic conditions. [1] [2] The reaction was discovered in 1883 by Emil Fischer. Today antimigraine drugs of the triptan class are often synthesized by this method. The Fischer ...

  6. Acetone hydrazone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone_hydrazone

    Acetone hydrazone can be produced on large scale by reaction of acetone azine with hydrazine, a more convenient reaction than direct reaction of acetone and hydrazine. [3] Likewise, it is susceptible to disproportionation to revert to acetone azine and hydrazine, especially in the presence of water.

  7. Tosylhydrazone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosylhydrazone

    Tosylhydrazone salts can react with metals to form metal carbenes and used in cyclopropanations and epoxidations. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] An example of a transition metal - catalyzed cyclopropanation is a synthesis of tranylcypromine , [ 5 ] [ 6 ] in which the sodium salt of benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone is converted to a rhodium metal carbene through the ...

  8. 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine

    This reaction is, overall, a condensation reaction as two molecules joining together with loss of water. Mechanistically, it is an example of addition-elimination reaction: nucleophilic addition of the -NH 2 group to the C=O carbonyl group, followed by the elimination of a H 2 O molecule: [3] X-ray structure of DNP-derived hydrazone of ...

  9. Willgerodt rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willgerodt_rearrangement

    The initial product is a thioamide for example that of acetophenone [7] which can again be hydrolyzed to the amide. The reaction is named after Karl Kindler The Kindler modification of the Willgerodt rearrangement. A possible reaction mechanism for the Kindler variation is depicted below: [8] The likely reaction mechanism for the Kindler ...
