Title: Oppenauer/Wolff-Kishner
Post by: idieh on September 26, 2010, 02:07:15 PM

Hey,

have to complete following synthesis but I'm not that into organic:

Given was: The first molecule, Al(OiPr)₃ Aluminiumtriisopropylate and Acetone, KOH and N₂H₄

I guess the first reaction is an Oppenauer Oxidation and the second is a Wolff-Kishner Reduction, but I really don't now whether I determined the products right or wrong.
So, I'd appreciate any help.

/edit: sketched it wrong, will edit it as soon as possible

corrected the molecules, everything else stays as it was.

wolf kishner product looks good! don't forget the N2 bubbles out as gas, i am not familiar with pooenauer oxidation
