Wolff-Kishner Reaction
Removes the carbonyl functional group.
Hydrazone comes from Carbonyl rection with NH2X
Creation of an Imine from a Carbonyl
A reversible process also driven by the removal of H2O
All NH2X react like this
Acetal Formation, driven by the removal of H2O
the entire process is reversible. It is a great way to protect ketones/aldehydes (carbonyls) from being attacked
It favors the Aldehyde. (Most likely due to steric reasons)
Acetal Formation
S Ylide Reaction
Sulfur is oxyphilic, but not as much as P
Wittig Reaction
Notes: Phenyl shorthand is what my Prof uses, not official
Phosphorus is very oxyphilic
