Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: O protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor products

What explains why many aldehydes and ketones can undergo self-condensation reactions in basic conditions? The alpha carbon can lose a proton and act like a nucleophile and the carbonyl carbon is an electrophile. The alpha carbon can gain a proton and act like an electrophile and the carbonyl carbon is a nucleophile. The oxygen of the carbonyl group can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group. Only esters can undergo self-condensation reactions.
The overall dehydration reaction we are performing (the dehydration of cyclohexanol) is reversible and actually slightly endothermic. How can we shift the equilibrium to the product side, assuming we can not limitlessly increase the temperature? Increased magnetic stirring le Chatelier's principle Increased amount of catalyst Extended reaction time
Explain why pentane-2,4-dione forms two alkylation products (A and B) when the number ofequivalents of base is increased from one to two.
By taking into account electronegativity differences, draw the products formed by heterolysis of the carbon–heteroatom bond in each molecule. Classify the organic reactive intermediate as a carbocation or a carbanion.

Why is it important that we are very careful in how much acid is added to neutralize the reaction? (Only pick one answer) If the solution becomes very acid it can be harmful to the skin Too much acid will increase vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Too much acid will decrease vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Excess acid will deprotonate the vanillyl alcohol and inhibit crystal formation

b) The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a reaction used in Organic Chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene group. The reaction was used to convert an aldehyde or ketone to an alkane using hydrazine, base and thermal conditions. The mechanism begins with the attack of hydrazine of the aldehyde or ketone. Stage 1: The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with hydrazine to produce hydrazine Stage 2: Reaction with the base and heat to convert hydrozone to alkane Write the mechanism of the reaction.
When propene reacts with gaseous hydrogen bromide, HBr, two products, 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane are formed. The reaction is a two-step process in which the electrophilic attack occurs in the first step. Identify the electrophile in this reaction Draw a diagram showing the first step of the reaction that leads to the production of 2-bromopropane.
Nucleophilic carbon atoms are often important in the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Carbon atoms are not good nucleophiles if they do not possess a lone pair of electrons.
