Ketones And Aldehydes Flashcards
How do you know is an aldehyde
It has =O-H
How do you know is a ketone
=O bonded to 2 carbon atoms
What do we used as oxidizing agent for alcohols
Potassium dichromate
How to test to ketones or aldehydes
1- aldehydes makes silver mirror
2- ketones no reaction
Using feeling solution to test for ketones and aldehydes
1- aldehydes from blue to red
2- ketones nothing happens
What type of reaction is ketones and aldehydes with ketones
Reversible reaction
What is oxidation in organic
If a carbon atom bonded to a more electronegative atom
What is the reducing agent used
Sodium borohydride NaBH4
How to prepare the reducing agent
We put sodium borohydride with water which then dissociate Na+ + BH4
What reacts with the aldehydes or ketones and how is made
Is the H+ from the BH4 which was broken which then reacts with ketones or aldehydes (hydride ions)
What is the equation for ketones and aldehydes
Ketone/ aldehyde + 2[H+] = alcohol
What do we used to test the type of optical isomer is produced
Plane polarized lamp to check if it rotates
Racemic mixture is?
When two enantomers are both in a solution
