Reaction of halogen ketones with ammonia
Hello!
I want to ask something about the substitution reaction of the halogen atom in monohlorketoni with
ammonia.
Under what conditions occurs? Can ammonia be replaced by phthalimid? And that will react keto
group (C = O) with ammonia, if used alcoholic ammonia solution, with stirring, in order preparing aminoketone.

what is monohlorketoni? Do you mean a monochloroketone such as chloropropanone (chloroacetone)?

I mean aliphatic and araliphatic monochloro (halo) ketones.
I use google translation, because my English is not good.

The rection should be something like this
not really sure though, my organic chemistry, isn't all that good

Reacting with phthalimide, then deprotection, will probably work and produce the primary amine as the sole product (Gabriel reaction). For a more OTC
route, you could even use sodium saccharine. I have not found any references for Gabriel reactions on haloketones, but I can't see why they shouldn't
work.
Reaction with ammonia is not guaranteed to give exclusively the monosubstituted amine. You would need to use a large excess of ammonia.

oh right, because the amine group is nucleophillic and can react with the chloroacetone to form a secondary and tertiary
out of curiosity, how much excess ammonia would be needed to ensure that most of the product is the primary amine?
twice the stochiometric amount?

Why would the Ammonia not for an imine with the Ketone?

before."~Maynard James Keenan

Is there a reason on why you don't simply check the literature first and ask more detailed question latter? The way you started, this topic is
obviously not going anywhere. If you want reasonable answers you better ask reasonable questions, with references, obviously. Read the forum
guidelines, if you do not know how to properly present a topic.
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
