For 10 points, name this functional group that consists of a nitrogen double bonded to a carbon.
Some morpholine-derived compounds containing this functional group have antimicrobial activity. During the addition of a single carbon group from formaldehyde to tetrahydrofolate, this non-acetal functional group may be formed as an intermediate. One pot reactions that wish to chemoselectively reduce this group use sodium cyanoborohydride. A good way of generating carbonyls from nitriles involves first reacting the nitrile with a (*) Grignard reagent to produce this functional group. This group can then be hydrolyzed under acidic conditions into a carbonyl and a primary amine, which is the reverse of the most common way of forming this group. For 10 points, name this functional group that consists of a nitrogen double bonded to a carbon.
