the haloform reaction
DESCRIPTION
The Haloform Reaction. Under basic conditions, halogenation of a methyl ketone often leads to carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Such cleavage is called the haloform reaction because chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform is one of the products. Example. The Haloform Reaction. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Under basic conditions, halogenation of a methyl ketone often leads to carbon-carbon bond cleavage.
Such cleavage is called the haloform reaction because chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform is one of the products.

The haloform reaction is sometimes used as a method for preparing carboxylic acids, but works well only when a single enolate can form.

18.918.9The Aldol CondensationThe Aldol Condensation
•A basic solution contains comparable amounts of the aldehyde and its enolate.
•Aldehydes undergo nucleophilic addition.
•Enolate ions are nucleophiles.
•What about nucleophilic addition of enolate to aldehyde?
