blended - aldehydes + ketones Flashcards
what use do carbonyls have in the industry
perfumes
solvents
dyes
oxidizing agents
acidified potassium dichromate / acidified potassium manganate
warmed
what forms when primary alcohol is oxidised under warmth
aldehyde
what forms when primary alcohol is oxidised under reflux
carboxylic acid
how to prevent further oxidation
distillation
what is the colour change when acidified potassium dichromate oxidises a carbonyl
orange –> green
what is the colour change when acidified potassium manganate oxidises a carbonyl
purple –> colourless
Tollens
if aldehyde is warmed = silver mirror
Fehling’s
if aldehyde is present = brick red ppt
2,4-DNPH + carbonyl
red-orange ppt if carbonyl is seen
recrystallised m.p can be compared to data book values to identify the aldehyde or ketone.
iodoform
yellow solid
extending the carbon chain:
carbonyl + HCN(insitu)
nucleophilic addition
what is used to produce HCN in situ
sulfuric acid + KCN
