Problems and exercisesAddition of ammonia, amines and derivs. to aldehydes and ketones

1. Imines, enamines, hydrazones and oximes

Give the products that each ketone forms with each of the amines or amine derivatives in its box.

Three boxes: cycloheptanone with 2-butanamine and with (2-butyl)hydrazine; cyclohexanone with 4-nitroaniline and with 4-methoxy-N-methylaniline; cyclopentanone with hydroxylamine and with pyrrolidine

2. The Wolff-Kishner reduction

When acetophenone is treated with hydrazine a hydrazone is obtained. If the hydrazone is treated with hydroxide, nitrogen is evolved and ethylbenzene forms. Give a mechanistic explanation of these facts.
