Predict the products of the following reactions:

(i)


(ii)


(iii)


(iv)

(i)


Cyclopentanone reacts with hydroxylamine to give cyclopentanone oxime. As you can see the cyclopentanone has ketone functional group with oxygen attached to carbonyl carbon and the hydroxylamine has two H atoms attached to N. And hence in the product this O and two H atoms are removed and form a water molecule.


(ii)



(iii)



(iv)



Trick: remember if any aldehyde or ketone bearing compound reacts with primary or secondary amine then for finding the product formed simply remove the oxygen atom from the aldehyde or ketone functional group and two H atoms attached to N in amines and add a double bond between C and N.
