The nitroaldol reaction (Henry’s reaction) is one of the most important reactions used to form C–C bonds. It is carried out under action of an alkyl nitronate anion on an aldehyde or ketone, producing ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science.

Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds. For ...

The fluidic system can modulate fluid compositions via spatially-different reactions between fluids and channel walls, something that has not yet been realised in traditional fluidic systems. This ...

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry we’re diving deeper into aldehydes and ketones by focusing on addition reactions of oxygen and nitrogen based nucleophiles.

Although the procedure was general for both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, the yields of secondary amines were moderate in many cases. Figure 1. Reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with ...
