Round 12: Tossup 5

Note to players: Two Answers Required. The primary purpose of the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction is to create a bond between these two non-hydrogen elements. STAB reduces a double bond between these two elements, which is referred to as a Schiff base. A bond between these two elements form when Alkyl halides react with potassium phthalimide in the Gabriel synthesis. A bond between these two non-hydrogen elements distinguishes (*) aniline from benzene. The Strecker synthesis (10[1])generates a functional group defined by a bond between these two elements. A single bond between these two elements constitutes an amine. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name these two elements with atomic numbers 6 and 7. ■END■ (10[1])
