Organic Chemistry
Why is an acidic environment necessary for the formation of an imine from ammonia and a carbonyl compound?
Write the detailed mechanism by which the following reaction occurs (ignore stereochemistry):
Provide the structure of the derivative semicarbazone of 2-methylcyclopentanone. Disregard stereoisomers.
Identify the carbonyl compound and the amine that would combine to produce the derivative below.
Predict the product for the following reactions involving cyclohexanone:
a. cyclohexanone + ethylamine (trace amount of H+)
b. cyclohexanone + diethylamine (trace amount of H+)
