Here is a question on Mannich Reaction again! If we use 1equivalent Formyl Chloride + 1equivalent Formaldehyde + 1equivalent NH4Cl (I'm not sure about this part) + 1equivalent Acetone can we make a Mannich Reaction to synthesise the Piperidone which upon reduction by means of a Wolff-Kishner Reduction to give the Piperidine???
I have got 3 question over this subject:
1. Can this reaction be made?
2. Can NH4Cl be used in a Mannich Reaction?
3. Can a Wolff - Kishner Reduction reduce the -Cl group on the Piperidone Ring?
Thanks!
