Aldehydes and Ketones Flashcards
Aldehydes and ketones
_________ AND _______ are the compounds which contain a
carbonyl functional group
Aldehydes and ketones
A carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom
Carbonyl group
All carbonyl groups have a
trigonal planar structure
Carbonyl is attached to at least one H atom in _____
Aldehydes
Carbonyl is directly attached with two carbon atoms in _____
KETONES
carbonyl carbon atom bonded to an oxygen atom
Esters
carbonyl carbon atom bonded to a nitrogen atom
Amide
_______ are not possible but cyclic ketones are known
Cyclic aldehydes
ALDEHYDES - IUPAC RULES
Select as the parent carbon chain the longest carbon
chain that includes the carbon atom of the carbonyl group
rule 1
ALDEHYDES - IUPAC RULES
Name the parent chain by changing the -e ending of the
corresponding alkane name to -al.
rule 2
ALDEHYDES - IUPAC RULES
Determine the identity and location of any substituents,
and append this information to the front of the parent chain
name.
rule 4
ALDEHYDES - IUPAC RULES
Number the parent chain by assigning the number 1 to
the carbonyl carbon atom of the aldehyde group.
rule 3
KETONES - IUPAC RULES
Select as the parent carbon chain the longest carbon
chain that includes the carbon atom of the carbonyl group
rule 1
KETONES - IUPAC RULES
Name the parent chain by changing the “-e” ending of
the corresponding alkane name to “-one.”
rule 2
KETONES - IUPAC RULES
Number the carbon chain such that the carbonyl carbon
atom receives the lowest possible number
rule 3
KETONES - IUPAC RULES
Determine the identity and location of any substituents,
and append this information to the front of the parent chain
name.
rule 4
KETONES - IUPAC RULES
Cyclic ketones are named by assigning the number 1 to
the carbon atom of the carbonyl group
rule 5
Isomers between aldehydes and ketones are called
functional
group isomers
Two types of isomers:
Position of the functional group is
different.
Positional isomers
Two types of isomers:
arrangements of atoms in space is different.
Skeletal isomers
______ is used for preserving biological specimens
FORMALIN
Simplest ketone.
ACETONE
Simplest aldehyde and has one carbon atom
FORMALDEHYDE
_______ is the main ingredient in gasoline treatments
designed to solubilize water in the gas tank and allow it to
pass through the engine in miscible form.
ACETONE
