Title: What would happen if..?
Post by: Njones1992 on May 20, 2020, 02:37:55 PM

What if one mixed slated lime, acetone, and lysine, then boiled it. (I'm playing around with solvents)? >:D

Maybe some aldol condensation from the acetone, lime being basic. The amino-group in lysine can react with the acetone also.
Do you know what would form then? Do you know about aldol condensation? Imines?
