LiAlH4 is a very powerful reducing agent, and aldehydes are easily reduced.●Usually reduced all the way to

the corresponding 1o alcohol.●Difficult to stop at the aldehyde

stage. Using LiAlH4 is not a good

method to synthesize aldehydes.

Note: All steps are reversible. In the presence of a large excess of anhydrous alcohol and catalytic amount of acid, the equilibrium strongly favors the formation of acetal (from aldehyde) or ketal (from ketone).

On the other hand, in the presence of a large excess of H2O and a catalytic amount of acid, acetal or ketal will hydrolyze back to aldehyde or ketone. This process is called hydrolysis.

Ch. 16 - 51

Acetals and ketals are stable in neutral or basic solution, but are readily hydrolyzed in aqueous acid.

Similar to the formation of acetals and ketals, all the steps in the formation of imine are reversible. Using a large excess of the amine will drive the equilibrium to the imine side.

Ch. 16 - 96

1H NMR spectra:● An aldehyde proton gives a distinct

1H NMR signal downfield in the 9–12 ppm region where almost no other protons absorb; therefore, it is easily identified.

● Protons on the carbon are deshielded by the carbonyl group, and their signals generally appear in the 2.0–2.3 ppm region.

● Methyl ketones show a characteristic (3H) singlet near 2.1 ppm.
