Carbonyl Group in Aldehydes and Ketones

A carbonyl group In an aldehyde is

attached to at least one H atom.

In a ketone is attached to two carbon groups.

3

Naming Aldehydes

An aldehyde Has an IUPAC name in which the -e in the alkane

name is changed to -al. Has a common name for the first four aldehydes that

use the prefixes form(1C), acet(2C), propion(3C), and butyr(4C), followed by aldehyde.

Naming KetonesKetones are named In the IUPAC system by replacing the -e in the alkane

name with one. The carbonyl carbon is indicated by a number.

With a common name by indicating the alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl group in alphabetical order

Oxidation and Reduction


28

Oxidation

Aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxylic acids. O O

|| [O] || CH3—C—H CH3—C—OH Acetaldehyde Acetic acid

29

Tollens’ Test

Tollens’ reagent, which contains Ag+, oxidizes aldehydes, but not ketones.

Ag+ is reduced to metallic Ag, which appears as a “mirror” in the test tube.


30

Benedict’s Test

In the Benedict’s Test,

Cu2+ reacts with aldehydes that have an adjacent OH group.

Aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids.

Cu2+ is reduced to give Cu2O(s).


31

Learning Check

Write the structure and name of the oxidized product

when each is mixed with Tollens’ reagent.

1. butanal

2. acetaldehyde

3. ethyl methyl ketone

Solution

1. butanal O ||

CH3—CH2—CH2—C—OH butanoic acid

2. acetaldehyde O ||

34

Addition Reactions

When a polar molecule adds to the carbonyl group ofan aldehyde or ketone The negative part of the added molecule bonds to the

positive carbonyl carbon. The positive part of the added molecule bonds to the

negative carbonyl oxygen.

35

Acetal Formation

Alcohols add to the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones.

The addition of two alcohols forms acetals.


36

Hemiacetal Formation

The addition of one alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone forms an intermediate called a hemiacetal.

Usually, hemiacetals are unstable and difficult to isolate.


37

Cyclic Hemiacetals

A stable cyclic hemiacetal forms when the C=O group and the —OH are both part of a five- or

six-atom carbon compound.


38

Learning Check

Chiral Molecules



43

Chiral Compounds

Chiral compounds Have the same number of atoms

arranged differently in space. Have one or more chiral carbon

atoms bonded to four different groups.

Are mirror images like your hands. Try to superimpose your thumbs, palms, back of hands, and little fingers. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc.

44

Mirror Images

The mirror images of Chiral compounds cannot be superimposed. Two compounds of bromochloroiodomethane can align

the H and I atoms, which places the Cl and Br atoms on opposite sides.

Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc Publishing as Benjamin Cummings

45

Achiral Structures are Superimposable

When the mirror image of an achiral structure is rotated, the structure can be aligned with the initial structure. Thus this mirror image is superimposable.

Fischer Projections

A Fischer projection

Is a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional molecule.

Places the most oxidized group at the top.

Uses vertical lines in place of dashes for bonds that go back.

Uses horizontal lines in place of wedges for bonds that come forward.

D and L Notations

By convention, the letter L is assigned to the structure with the —OH on the left.

The letter D is assigned to the structure with the —OH on the right.
