Q

Nomenclature of Aldehydes and ketones

A

aldehydes often called by their common names instead of IUPAC names. The common names of most aldehydes are derived from the common names of the corresponding carboxylic acids by replacing the ending –ic of acid with aldehyde. The location of the substituent in the carbon chain is indicated by Greek letters alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc.
The common names of ketones are derived by naming two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to the carbonyl group. The locations of
substituents are indicated by Greek letters, a a’, b b’ and so on beginning with the carbon atoms next to the carbonyl group,
indicated as aa’

Q

Structure of the Carbonyl Group

A

The carbonyl carbon atom is sp2-hybridised and forms three sigma (s) bonds. The fourth valence electron of carbon remains in its p-orbital and forms a p-bond with oxygen by overlap with p-orbital of an oxygen In addition, the oxygen atom also has two non bonding electron pairs. the carbonyl carbon and the three atoms attached to it lie in the
same plane and the p-electron cloud is above and below this plane. The
bond angles are approximately 120° as expected of a trigonal coplanar

Q

the carbonyl carbon acts an ________ and carbonyl oxygen acts an _________ and why

A

The carbon-oxygen double bond is polarised due to higher electronegativity of oxygen relative to carbon. Hence, the carbonyl carbon is an electrophilic (Lewis acid), and carbonyl oxygen, a nucleophilic (Lewis base) centre. Carbonyl compounds have substantial dipole moments and are polar than ethers

Q

Physical Properties of aldehydes and ketones

A

Methanal is a gas at room temperature. Ethanal is a volatile liquid. Other aldehydes and ketones are liquid or solid at room temperature. The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than
hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses. It is due to weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones arising out of the dipole-dipole interactions. Also, their boiling points are lower than those of alcohols of similar molecular masses due to absence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
The lower members of aldehydes and ketones such as methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportions, because they form hydrogen bond with water.

Q

the solubility of aldehydes and ketones and smell of aldehydes and ketones

A

the solubility of aldehydes and ketones decreases rapidly on increasing the length of alkyl chain. All aldehydes and ketones are
fairly soluble in organic solvents like benzene, ether, methanol, chloroform, etc. The lower aldehydes have sharp pungent odors. As the size of the molecule increases, the odour becomes less pungent
and more fragrant. In fact, many naturally occurring aldehydes and ketones are used in the blending of perfumes and flavoring agents.

Q

Chemical Reactions of aldehydes and ketones with Nucleophilic addition reaction(Mechanism of nucleophilic addition reactions)

A

A nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of the polar carbonyl group from a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of sp 2 hybridized orbitals of carbonyl carbon
The hybridization of carbon changes from sp2 to sp3 in this process, and a tetrahedral alkoxide intermediate is produced. This intermediate captures a proton from the
reaction medium to give the electrically neutral product. The net result is addition of Nu– and H+ across the carbon oxygen double bond

Q

Chemical Reactions of aldehydes and ketones with Nucleophilic addition reaction(Reactivity)

A

Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two relatively large substituents in ketones hinders the approach of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon than in aldehydes having only one such substituent. Electronically, aldehydes are more reactive than ketones because two alkyl groups reduce the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon more effectively than in former

Q

Addition of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to aldehydes and ketones

A

Aldehydes and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to yield cyanohydrins. This reaction occurs very slowly with pure HCN. Therefore, it is catalyzed by a base and the generated cyanide ion (CN-) being a stronger nucleophile readily adds to
carbonyl compounds to yield corresponding
cyanohydrin.

Q

Addition of sodium hydrogen sulphite to aldehydes and ketones

A

Sodium hydrogensulphite adds to aldehydes and ketones to form the addition products. The position of the equilibrium
lies largely to the right hand side for most
aldehydes and to the left for most ketones due to steric reasons. The hydrogensulphite addition compound is water soluble and can be converted back to the original carbonyl compound by treating it with dilute mineral acid or alkali. Therefore, these are useful for separation and
purification of aldehydes.

35
Q

Addition of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones

A

Aldehydes react with one equivalent of
monohydric alcohol in the presence of dry hydrogen chloride to yield alkoxyalcohol intermediate, known as hemiacetals,
which further react with one more molecule of alcohol to give a gem-dialkoxy compound known as acetal as shown in the reaction Ketones react with ethylene glycol under
similar conditions to form cyclic products known as ethylene glycol ketals. Dry hydrogen chloride protonates the oxygen of
the carbonyl compounds and therefore, increases the electrophilicity of the
carbonyl carbon facilitating the nucleophilic attack of ethylene glycol. Acetals and ketals
are hydrolyzed with aqueous mineral acids to yield corresponding aldehydes and ketones respectively.

36
Q

Addition of ammonia and its derivatives to aldehydes and ketones

A

Nucleophiles, such as ammonia and its derivatives H2N-Z add to the carbonyl
group of aldehydes and ketones. The reaction is reversible and catalysed by acid.
The equilibrium favours the product
formation due to rapid dehydration of the
intermediate to form >C=N-Z

37
Q

39
Q

Oxidation of Aldehydes and ketones

A

Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxylic acids on treatment with common oxidizing agents like nitric acid, potassium permanganate, potassium
dichromate, etc. Even mild oxidizing agents, mainly Tollens’ reagent and Fehlings’ reagent also oxidize aldehydes.
Ketones are generally oxidized under vigorous conditions, i.e.,strong oxidizing agents and at elevated temperatures. Their oxidation involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage to afford a mixture of carboxylic
acids having lesser number of carbon atoms than the parent ketone.

40
Q

Fehling’s test: on aldehyde

A

Fehling solution A and Fehling solution B. Fehling solution A is aqueous copper sulphate and Fehling solution B is alkaline
sodium potassium tartarate (Rochelle salt). These two solutions are mixed in equal amounts before test. On heating an aldehyde with Fehling’s reagent, a reddish brown precipitate is obtained. Aldehydes are oxidized to corresponding carboxylate anion. Aromatic aldehydes do not respond to this test.

40
Q

Tollens’ test on aldehyde

A

On warming an aldehyde with freshly prepared ammoniacal silver nitrate solution (Tollens’ reagent), a bright silver mirror is produced due to the formation of silver metal. The aldehydes are oxidized to corresponding carboxylate anion.
The reaction occurs in alkaline medium.

41
Q

Oxidation of methyl ketones by haloform reaction:

A

Aldehydes and ketones having at least one methyl group linked to the carbonyl carbon atom (methyl ketones) are oxidized by sodium hypohalite to sodium salts of
corresponding carboxylic acids having one carbon atom less than that of carbonyl compound. The methyl group is converted to haloform. This oxidation does not
affect a carbon-carbon double bond, if present in the molecule

41
Q

Reactions due to a-hydrogen on Aldehydes and ketones

A

Acidity of a-hydrogens of aldehydes and ketones: The aldehydes and ketones undergo a number of reactions due to the acidic nature of a-hydrogen. The acidity of a-hydrogen atoms of carbonyl compounds is due to the strong electron withdrawing effect of the carbonyl group and resonance stabilization of the conjugate base
