Common Name Reactions
1. Aldol condensation:
It is a condensation reaction between enol and carbonyl compounds in which the formation of β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone takes place followed by dehydration in order to give a conjugated enone.
2. Claisen-Ester Condensation:
It is a reaction between two esters or one ester and carbonyl compound that takes place in
the presence of a base in order to produce β-keto ester or β-diketone.
3. Benzoin condensation:
It is a type of coupling reaction in which the formation of α-hydroxyketones from two Aldehydes.
4. Michael Addition:
It is a type of 1,4- addition reaction in which addition of Nu to β carbon of carbonyl
takes place while hydrogen gets added to α carbon of carbonyl.
5. Pinacol-Pinacolone rearrangement:
In this rearrangement, conversion of 1,2-diols to carbonyl compounds takes place. When the condition is acidic , reaction proceeds through 1,2 rearrangement.
6. Beckmann rearrangement:
In this, the formation of amides takes place from the acid catalyzation of oximes.
7. Schmidt reaction:
In this, the reaction between azide and carbonyl derivative takes place under acidic condition which results in the formation of amine or amide.
8. Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation:
In this, ketones get converted to esters while cyclic ketones to lactones. This reaction proceeds in the presence of peracids and a Lewis acid.
9. Fries rearrangement:
In this, the formation of hydroxyaryl ketone takes place from phenolic esters in the presence of a catalyst.
10. Corey-Winter Olefination synthesis:
In this, the formation of alkene takes place by the conversion of 1,2-diol. It involves the formation of a cyclic thiocarbonate.
