Practice Exercises

Nomenclature

Practice with naming aldehydes and ketones in various combinations with other functional groups.


Reaction Mechanisms - nucleophilic additions

Practice especially with mechanisms for acetals and imines.

Show the intramolecular formation of glucose hemiacetal.

Show the formation of cyclohexanone oxime (acid-catalyzed)



Synthesis

Practice with visualizing synthetic sequences backwards - given a target product, what are the possible reactions that could have created it?
