The reactions of hydroxylamine with a symmetrical ketone `(R_(2)C = O)` froms only one oxmie. However two isomeric oximes may be formed when an aldehyde or non-symmetical ketone takes part in the reaction. Explain.

To understand why the reaction of hydroxylamine with a symmetrical ketone forms only one oxime, while the reaction with an aldehyde or a non-symmetrical ketone can yield two isomeric oximes, we can break down the explanation into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Symmetrical Ketones**: - A symmetrical ketone has the same groups attached to both sides of the carbonyl group (C=O). For example, acetone (CH₃COCH₃) is a symmetrical ketone where both sides of the carbonyl carbon are methyl groups. 2. **Reaction with Hydroxylamine**: ...

When semicarbazide reacts with a ketone (or aldehyde) to form semicarbazone. Only one nitrogen atom of semicarbazide acts as a nucleophile and attack the carbonyl carbon of the ketone. The product fo the reaction consequently is R_(2)C=N- NH-CONH_(2) rather than R_(2)C=NCONH-NH_2 . what factor account for the fact that two nitrogen atoms of semicarbazide are relatively non nucleophilic ?

Assertion :- Benzaldehyde forms two oximes on reaction with NH_(2)OH . Reason :- The two oximes arises due to geometrical isomerism around C-N bond.

Which of the following reactions of glucose can be explained only by its cyclic structure? (a)Glucose forms pentaacetate (b)Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime (c)Pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxyl amine (d)Glucose is oxidised by nitric acid to glyconic acid

Intramolecular aldol condensation : The aldol condensation also offer a convenient way to synthesize molecules with five and six membered ring.This can be done by an intramolecular aldol condensation using a dialdehyde, a keto aldehyde or a diketone as the substrate.The major product is formed by the attack of the enolate from the ketone side of the molecule that adds to the aldehyde group.The reason the aldehyde group undergoes addition preferentially may arise from the greater reactivity of aldehyde towards nucleophilic addition.In reaction of this type five membered rings from far more readily than seven membered rings and six membered rings are more favourable than four or eight membered rings when possible.

(a) Give a possible explaination for each one of the following : - (i) There are two - NH_(2) groups in semicarbazide. However, only one such group is involvedin the formation of semicarbazones. (ii) Cyclohexanone forms cyanohydrin in good yield but 2,4,6 -trimethylcyclohexanone does not. (b) An organic compound with molecular formula C_(9)H_(10)O forms, 2,4 - DNP derivative, reduces Tollens' reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro reaction. On vigorous oxidation it gives 1,2-benzene-di-carboxylic acid. Identify the compound.
