Examples Explainations
ketones In general ketones (R-CO-R) take the suffix "-one" (pronounced own, not won) with an infix position number: CH3CH2CH2COCH3 is pentan-2-one. If a higher precedence suffix is in use, the prefix "oxo-" is used: CH3CH2CH2COCH2CHO is 3-oxohexanal.
What you learn in Theory:

The reaction proceeds via an imine salt intermediate that is then hydrolyzed to give the ketone product.

What you learn in Practice:

Nitriles, RC?N, react with Grignard reagents or organolithium reagents to give ketones.
