Chem ch 15 Flashcards
no hydrogen bonding (the twins)
aldehydes and ketones
formaldehyde
methanal - CH2O
acetaldehyde
ethanal - CH3-C (=O attached at the top) -H
the H will always be shown in an..
aldehyde
no hydrogens on
ketones
benzaldehyde
just benzene w/ CHO attached at top
when naming an aldehyde attached to cyclic, name it…(with the cyclic it’s too many carbs)
cyclohexane carbaldehyde - the cyclo w/ carbaldehyde at the end.
naming straight chain aldehydes (alden is al)
don’t number the aldehyde - it’s just 3-methylhexanal
does aldehyde or OH group have priority?
aldehyde
ketones end in (literally the end of ketone)
one, ie 3-pentanone
don’t do methyl & ethyl (common names) for ketones when..
the chains get longer. Just use IUPAC - ie. butanone.
diphenyl ketone
a ketone w/ 2 phenyls - one on each side (phenyl is benzene minus one H)
when naming, if you have a ketone and a double bond…
split the name in half. ie - 3-penten-2-one. (the double bond on 3 goes first)
ending of a ketone (key to one heart)
one
aldehyde naming ends in (alden is al)
al
what has the highest boiling point? butane, butanol, or butanal?
butanal bc it has dipole dipole and H bonding
C and O is what type of bonding?
dipole dipole
super solvent
acetone
aldehydes oxidized to…
carboxylic acid
ketones oxidized to..(no oxy in the keys)
NR - can’t be oxidized
when oxidizing aldehyde
just attach the O to the H group - so it’s - OH.
when oxidizing, if you already have a double bond O, attach the O
to the free H
tollen test or tollen’s reagent (pay the toll w/ silver - then cho)
used to distinguish between aldehyde and ketone. if silver, it’s an aldehyde
benedict’s test
blue copper turns brick red
aldehyde w/ benedict test turns what color?
red
benedict test cannot be used to..
distinguish between aldheyde and ketone
reagent and product w/ tollen’s test is…
reagent is Ag+, product is Ag
