One of these compounds reacts with formaldehyde to form a strongly electrophilic species in the first step of a reaction whose product contains this functional group beta to a carbonyl.
These compounds can be coupled with aryl halides in the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. One of these compounds reacts with formaldehyde to form a strongly electrophilic species in the first step of a reaction whose product contains this functional group beta to a carbonyl. Common protecting groups for these compounds include t-BOC and Fmoc. A useful base in organic synthesis is the (*) triethyl variety of this class of compounds. The reaction of an alkyl halide with potassium phthalimide is one of the most useful ways to synthesize primary ones. These compounds synthesized in a reaction named for Gabriel can also be synthesized by full reduction of nitriles, azides, or imines. For 10 points, name these compounds characterized by a carbon single-bonded to a nitrogen atom.
These compounds can be coupled with aryl halides in the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction.
amines [prompt on "amino acids" until "triethyl" since the clues could plausibly refer to them, the other named reactions referenced are the Mannich and the Gabriel]
