Q
  1. The position of the carbonyl carbon does not have to be designated because it is always at the end of the parent hydrocarbon so it always has the 1-position
  2. Parent chain is the longest with the carbonyl group.
  3. In naming of the parent chain, remove the -e of the alkyl and change to -al.
A
  1. Number the parent chain in which carbon number 1 is the carbonyl group of the RCHO
  2. For cyclic aldehydes in which the CHO group is directly attached to a ring, the suffix -carbaldehyde is used.
  • Identity and locate the substituents placed before the parent name. Follow the correct punctuation.

Q

ALDEHYDES

  1. Aldehydes have ______ BP than alkanes while they have ______ boiling points than the corresponding alcohols because no hydrogen bonding occurs as it does with alcohols.
  2. As the hydrocarbon portion of aldehyde gets larger, the water solubility of aldehydes
    ________.
