In the Schmidt reaction, these compounds form amines, and their silver salts react with halogens to yield alkyl halides in the Hunsdiecker(*) reaction.
In the Schmidt reaction, these compounds form amines, and their silver salts react with halogens to yield alkyl halides in the Hunsdiecker(*) reaction. They decompose to produce isocyanates in the Curtius rearrangement. They can be synthesized by the Grignard synthesis and reacting them with alcohols yields esters. For ten points, identify this class of chemicals characterized by the presence of a COOH group.
