Reactions
- Conjugated carbonyls react with secondary amines to form 1,4-keto-amines. For example the conjugate addition of methylamine to 2-cyclohexenone gives the compound 3-(N-methylamino)-cyclohexanone.
- Conjugated carbonyls react with hydrogen cyanide to 1,4-keto-nitriles. See hydrocyanation of unsaturated carbonyls. In the Nagata reaction the cyanide source is diethylaluminum cyanide.
- The Gilman reagent is an effective nucleophile for 1,4-additions to conjugated carbonyls...
- The Michael reaction involves conjugate additions of enolates to conjugated carbonyls.
- The Stork enamine reaction involves the conjugate addition of enamines to conjugated carbonyls.

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:
“We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.””
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
