Abstract:
Ketemines represent an interesting class of organic intermediates that has undergone a regrowth as a consequence of recent extensions of copper catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (Cu- AAC) to other synthetic fields. This review summarizes the most recent generation methods of ketimines from CuAAC reaction, highlighting chemical properties focused on the synthesis of cyclic compounds, among others, affording a general outlook towards the development of new biologically active compounds.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
