Aldehydes and ketones
What does R and R’ represent
Carbon-containing substituents
consist of one hydrogen atom, a 2nd hydrogen atom or an alkyl or benzene ring. with the complexity of other attached group
Aldehydes
Aldehydes undergo a wide variety of chemical reactions, including
Polymerization
has two hydrocarbon groups, either benzene rings or alkyl groups and LACKS HYDROGEN ATOM attached to it
Ketones
They are also found in various sugars and medicinal compounds like STEROID hormones
Ketone
A crucial ketone with a sweet odor
Acetone
5 steps of preparation of ketones and aldehydes
- Oxidation of 1 and 2 alcohols
- Friedel crafts acylation
- Hydration of alkynes
- Glycol cleavage
- Ozonolysis of alkenes
This is the simplest aldehyde
