Aldehyde and Ketone Reactions – Hydrates, Acetals, & Imines: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #29

We’ve already learned the basics of carbonyl chemistry and talked about how we can synthesize aldehydes and ketones, but there’s still so much more to learn, like the role carbonyl groups play in reactions involving sedatives! In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’re diving deeper into aldehydes and ketones by focusing on addition reactions of oxygen and nitrogen-based nucleophiles. We’ll cover hydrates, acetals and hemiacetals, imines and enamines, and more!
