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

- Hydroxylamine, H2NOH, has both an OH functional group and an NH2 functional group, so it can feasibly undergo reaction with a ketone or an aldehyde to produce either an acetal or an imine-like compound called an oxime. (a) Draw each of these mechanisms for the reaction of hydroxylamine with acetone. (b) Which is the major product? Hint: Which step decides the outcome?arrow_forwardIn a Wittig reaction, a ketone or aldehyde reacts as an electrophile with a nucleophile called a Wittig reagent (or phosphonium ylide) to produce an alkene. The Wittig reagent is commonly synthesized first in a two-step process beginning with an alkyl halide, then reacted with the carbonyl compound. In this problem, you'll explore the mechanism of a multi-step synthesis to make an alkene using the Wittig approach.arrow_forwardShow two reaction schemes to synthesize the following compounds.

- Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: 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 productsarrow_forwardAcetal formation must be catalyzed by an acid.
