Carbonyl Group Containing Compounds Flashcards
What does the o atom do in the carbonyl structure
it’s more electro negative than C, provides 2 more unbending electrons
What is the general formula of aldehyde
RCHO
What do aldehyde names end with?
Al
What do ketone names end with?
On
What is a terminal c atom
The C with the number 1
What is h2co
Formaldehyde
What does aldehyde get reduced to
Corresponding primary alcohol
What does ketone get reduced to?
Corresponding secondary alcohol
What does aldehydes get oxidized to?
Carboxylic acid
What does ketones get oxidized to?
They don’t get oxidized
What is the formula of acetic acid?
ch3cooh
What is the formula of acetic acid?
ch3cooh
How does the increase of C atoms in a carboxylicacid affect water solubility
It decreases it by masking the polarity
What is the formula of Formic acid
Hcooh
What organic compound with 2 C atoms are we able to synthesize?
Acetil COA
What are the two basic factors affecting the acidic basic character of molecules?
- Check the stability of the conjugate base (electro negativity ↑ stability ↓, stability of conjugate base ↓, acidic property↓)
2.structural difference of groups(existance of exchangeable proton, different organic molecules )
alpha keto acid →
,aldehyde + co2 (decarboxylation )
Beta keto acids →
Ketone +co2 (decarboxylation)
How are esters formed?
Carboxylic acid + alcohol → ester +h 2o
what is an Acid anhydride
Removal of one molecule of water from two molecules of acid
Which is more reactive, acid anhydrides or carboxylic acid
acid anhydrides
Primary amine+aldehyde or ketone
Stiff base+ h2o
