The Buchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction is the reaction of aldehydes or ketones with aliphatic diazoalkanes to form homologated ketones. [1] It was first described by Eduard Buchner and Theodor Curtius in 1885 [2] and later by Fritz Schlotterbeck in 1907. [3]
rate = k[RCHO] 2 [OH −] + k'[RCHO] 2 [OH −] 2. The k' pathway implicates a reaction between the doubly charged anion (RCHO 2 2−) and the aldehyde. The direct transfer of hydride ion is evident from the observation that the recovered alcohol does not contain any deuterium attached to the α-carbon when the reaction is performed in the ...
[12] (6) Ketenes undergo [2+2] cycloaddition with ketones and aldehydes to give β-lactones. Lewis acid catalysis is necessary for this process, unless the carbonyl compound possesses strongly electron- withdrawing substituents. [13] (7) [3+2] Cycloadditions may take place with 1,3-dipoles.
In monometallic complexes, aldehydes and ketones can bind to metals in either of two modes, η 1-O-bonded and η 2-C,O-bonded. These bonding modes are sometimes referred to sigma- and pi-bonded. These forms may sometimes interconvert. The sigma bonding mode is more common for higher valence, Lewis-acidic metal centers (e.g., Zn 2+). [1]
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. The protonated isocyanate is attacked by water forming carbamate 4 , which after deprotonation loses carbon dioxide to the amine .
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.
In cases where the Grignard reagent is adding to an aldehyde or a prochiral ketone, the Felkin-Anh model or Cram's Rule can usually predict which stereoisomer will be formed. With easily deprotonated 1,3- diketones and related acidic substrates, the Grignard reagent RMgX functions merely as a base, giving the enolate anion and liberating the ...
This has been theorized [1] to be caused by the restriction of undesired (E)-isomer by preventing the ketone from accessing non-reactive tautomers. Generally, a Mannich reaction is the combination of an amine, a ketone with a β-acidic proton and aldehyde to create a condensed product in a β-addition to the ketone.
