Packet 5: Bonus 7
In one version of the Paal-Knorr Synthesis, 1,4-diketones can be reacted with this functional group to form pyrroles. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this functional group characterized by a carbon-nitrogen single bond.
ANSWER: amines
[10h] In a different reaction developed by Knorr, substituted pyrroles are produced from aminoketones derived from one of these compounds via the Neber rearrangement. A cyclic one of these compounds can undergo a Beckmann rearrangement to form lactams.
ANSWER: oximes [accept ketoximes; prompt on imines]
[10m] Knorr’s pyrrole synthesis begins by forming an imine that undergoes this process, which Knorr discovered in ethyl aceto·acetate. Migration of a hydrogen causes the characteristic interconversion seen in this phenomenon.
ANSWER: tautomerization [or tautomerism]
