Carbonyl Flashcards
Why carbonyls have higher mp BP?
C=O polar strong pdpd but alkane idid
Why carbonyl solubility decrease with more Carbon atoms?
Same as alcohol
Non-polar R group makes the alcohol more hydrophobic and energy comes from idid instead of hydro bond between h2o and c=o which is not enough go overcome hydro bond between h20 and oh respectively
Why carbonyl more reactive for nucleophilic reagents than alkane?
C electron deficient(delta +) and O is electronegative but c=c Is electron rich
Why aldehyde more reactive than ketone?
Stearic hindrance for ketones
How to test for aldehydes
Tollens reagent nh3(aq) +AgNo3
With heat
Silver mirror Ag+RCOO-
How to test for aliphatic aldehyde?( no benzene/cyclic directly on the aldehyde)
Fehlings reagent cu2+ 5oh- with heat
Cu2O+RCOO-
How to test for carbonyl
2,4DNPH heat
How test for methyl aldehyde, aldehyde with CHi1,2or3,
c to ch3 oh h r
I2 and NaOh heat
