Thorpe reaction

The Thorpe reaction is a chemical reaction described as a self-condensation of aliphatic nitriles catalyzed by base to form enamines.[1][2][3] The reaction was discovered by Jocelyn Field Thorpe.

Thorpe–Ziegler reaction

The Thorpe–Ziegler reaction (named after Jocelyn Field Thorpe and Karl Ziegler), or Ziegler method, is the intramolecular modification with a dinitrile as a reactant and a cyclic ketone as the final reaction product after acidic hydrolysis. The reaction is conceptually related to the Dieckmann condensation.[3]

The reaction mechanism of the Thorpe–Ziegler reaction
gollark: It was kind of bad.
gollark: Search is gone. Forever.
gollark: AutoBotRobot.
gollark: Hmm, I have a feature idëa...
gollark: Yep, that seems a contextually/gramatically-valid word :)
