carbonyl condensation reactions

reaction of one carbonyl compound with another

  • makes carbon-carbon bonds

  • allows for the synthesis of large molecules from smaller subunits

  • part of most metabolic pathways

  • special class of alpha-substitution reactions

  • takes advantage of the ability of carbonyl compounds to act as both nucleophiles and electrophiles

New cards

adol reaction

base catalyzed condensation of an aldehyde or ketone with itself

  • reversible process

  • results in formation of beta-hydroxy carbonyl

  • enolate is formed in low concentration

  • success of reaction depends on steric (more hindered = equilibrium more left)

  • fairs product when mono substituted acetaldehyde are used (unbranded at alpha position)
