The Friedel-Crafts acylation produces an aryl alkyl or a di-aryl one, while their deoxygenation by zinc comprises the Clemmensen reduction.
The Friedel-Crafts acylation produces an aryl alkyl or a di-aryl one, while their deoxygenation by zinc comprises the Clemmensen reduction. Grignard reagents react with nitriles to form them and can reduce them to secondary alcohols. To distinguish them from other compounds with carbonyl groups, the Tollens test does not form a silver mirror with these as in aldehydes.  FTP, name this organic functional group with two alkyl groups bonded to a carbonyl group, the simplest of which is acetone.          |
