Aldehydes and ketones react with ammonia...

Aldehydes and ketones react with ammonia derivatives in weakly acidic/strongly acidic medium.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Reactants**: Aldehydes and ketones are carbonyl compounds that contain a carbonyl group (C=O). Ammonia derivatives include compounds like ammonia (NH₃), primary amines (RNH₂), and secondary amines (R₂NH). 2. **Nature of the Reaction**: Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions with ammonia derivatives. The nitrogen atom in ammonia derivatives acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon atom in the carbonyl group. 3. **Effect of Medium on the Reaction**: The medium in which the reaction occurs can significantly influence the reactivity of the nucleophile (ammonia derivative). In a strongly acidic medium, the nucleophilic nature of the ammonia derivatives is diminished due to protonation of the nitrogen atom. This makes it less likely to attack the carbonyl carbon. ...

Aldehydes and ketones react with electrophiles but not with nucleophiles.

Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions. With weak nucleophiles such as ammonia and its derivatives, (H_2 N-Z) , aldehydes and ketones react in weakly acidic medium to form compounds containing carbonnitrogen double bond with the elimination of water to form . Aldehydes can be easily oxidised to carboxylic acid on treatment with common oxidising agents like KMnO_4 K_2 Cr_2 O_7 , HNO_3 , etc. The carboxylic acid formed contain the same number of carbon atoms as the aldehydes. However ketones under drastic conditions with powerful oxidising agents undergo cleavage of C-C bond giving mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of C atoms than the original ketone. Name the product formed when formaldehyde reacts with ammonia.
