The mechanism of osazone formation has been subject of many studies during a vast period of time. However, the regiochemistry related to osazones remained an unsolved problem until recently that we presented our theoretical findings that explain the factors that direct the regiochemistry of osazone formation. Now, we wish present to the teaching community this subject, as well as a discussion of an example of mixed osazone formation. This new topic includes the factors that conduce to the main product. This communication will fill a gap existing in the Organic Chemistry textbooks.
