Henry Reaction

The video tutorial covers the Henry reaction, first reported by Louis Enri in 1895, which involves adding a nitrate salt to a carbonyl compound. It discusses the reaction's mechanism, equilibrium challenges, and applications, including sugar homologation and stereoselective synthesis. The tutorial highlights the reaction's versatility and its significance in organic chemistry, with examples of advanced applications and research advancements in stereoselective synthesis.
