As we learnt in

Addition of ketones with alcohols -

Produces an unstable hemiketal intermediate and further stable compound called ketal.

- wherein

 

 and

Addition of ammonia and its derivatives with aldehydes and ketones -

Product formation is favoured due to rapid dehydration of the intermediate to form  > C = NG

G\:\:may\:be\:\:-OH,\:\:-NH_{2},\:\:-NHC_{6}H_{5},\:\:-NHCONH_{2},\:\:etc

- wherein

 

 

and

Aldol condensation -

Aldehydes and ketones possessing \alpha - hydrogen atom in the presence of dilute alkali undergo self-condensation to form  \beta - hydroxy aldehyde and

  \beta - hydroxy ketone.

- wherein

 

 X\rightarrow CH_{3}-CH_{2}-OH \ \ Y\Rightarrow CH_{3}-CH-CH-C^{II^{o}}-H

A\rightarrow CH_{3}-C^{II^{0}}-H \ \ Z\Rightarrow CH_{3}-CH=N-NH-C^{II^{0}}-NH_{2}
