2
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
followed by ketone.

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.

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).

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.

Acetal Formation
Alcohols add to the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones.
The addition of two alcohols forms acetals.
Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
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.
Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
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.

Chiral Molecules
Chapter 14 Aldehydes, Ketones, and Chiral Molecules
Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc.Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
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.
Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
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.
