17
Q

Since in both resonance & induction the carbon connected to the double bond oxygen has a partial positive charge what does that mean?

A

Means its deficient in electron density which results to it becoming electrophilic

Q

Which is more reactive aldehyde or ketone & why?

Q

Explain the steric effect aldehydes has over ketones

A

A ketone has two alkyl groups so in its transition state it basically is a secondary carbocation (which is pretty stable) but for aldehydes it has only one alkyl group so in its transition state is basically a primary carbocation which is unstable and why it’s more reactive

Q

Explain the electronic effect that makes aldehydes more reactive than ketones

A

Alkyl groups like CH3 are electron donating so a ketone has two alkyl groups which stabilizes its partial charge but for aldehydes it only has one alkyl group so its partial charge isn’t stabilized
