Chapter 19, Problem 19.29P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the oxime of acetone is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Oxime is a kind of organic compound which is formed by the reaction of a carbonyl compound with ${\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$. The general formula of the oxime compound is ${\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{N}-\text{OH}$. The general reaction for the formation of oxime is shown below.

${\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{O}+{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}\to {\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{N}-\text{OH}+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of the imine formed in the reaction between $\text{2-methylhexanal}$ and ethylamine is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The imine is a kind of organic compound which is formed by the reaction of a carbonyl compound with an amine. The general formula of the imine compound is ${\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{NR}$. The general reaction for the formation of imine is shown below.

${\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{O}+{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{R}\to {\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{NR}+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$
