Q

How do you name ketones?

  • IUPAC
  • COMMON
A

Alkane name with ‘e’ removed and replaced with ‘one’. The location of the group in the chain is indicated by the number before the -one.

Q

When oxidising primary alcohols what is in excess? Why?

A

EXCESS alcohol- There is not enough oxidising agent to oxidise the primary alcohol to a carboxylic acid, so will be oxidised to an aldehyde instead.

23
Q

What organometallic reagent is needed to couple with a carboxylic acid derivative? Why is this reagent used?

A

Organocuprate- C-Cu (Ionic bond).

Less reactive so needs to be a controlled reaction to get a ketone instead of a tertiary alcohol.

24
Q

What is the biological equivalent of a thioester?

A

Acyl Chloride

25
Q

What affects the boiling point of a carbonyl compound?

A

Carbon- Oxygen double bond- POLAR

26
Q

Boiling point of carbonyl compounds are HIGHER than .. and LOWER than …. Why?

A

HIGHER than ethers (C-O bonds).

LOWER than alcohols (hydrogen bonding). Aldehydes/ Ketones cannot make hydrogen bonds with themselves.

27
Q

What does carbonyl compounds have which are characteristic of them?

A

Strong Smells

28
Q

Carbonyl compounds have similar solubilities to what?

A

Alcohols

29
Q

Why are short chain aldehydes/ ketones soluble in water?

What happens with longer chain aldehydes/ ketones?

A

Short chain aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water because they are able to make Hydrogen bonds. When the length of chain grows HYDROPHOBIC LONDON DISPERSION forces grow so difficult to break these, with only a few Hydrogen bond.

30
Q

Name the 3 reactions which carbonyl compounds can undergo?

A
  1. Nucleophilic Addition
  2. Alpha- Substitution
  3. Condensation
31
Q

Describe Nucleophilic Addition with a Cyanide ion.

A
  1. Cyanide ion attacks the slightly positive Carbon.
  2. The Carbon- Oxygen double bond breaks
  3. Pair of electrons goes to Oxygen.
  4. A pair of electrons is used to form a bond with Hydrogen.
  5. Overall there has been addition of HCN across the double bond.
32
Q

What is a Cyanohydrin?

A

HO-C-C—N

33
Q

What happens in a Cyanohydrin because the C-C is less stable than a normal C-C bond?

A

Spontaneous breakdown of the C-C to release the CN.

34
Q

What is hydration?

A

Addition of water.

35
Q

Name 2 aldehydes which dissolve in

A

Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde.

36
Q

What forms a hydrate?

A

Dissolving Acetaldehyde.

37
Q

What is a Hydrate?

A

2 OH groups on the same Carbon.

38
Q

When is the reagent needed to produce a semi- acetal/ ketal and acetal/ketal from aldehyde and ketones?
What reaction is this?

A

ROH

Nucleophilic Addition

39
Q

How do you recognise an ‘Atal’?

A

Oxygen cannot be bonded to hydrogen instead bonded to R group (Ether).

40
Q

What is a mixed acetal?

A

Bond between ‘oxygen and nitrogen’ rather than ‘oxygen and oxygen.’

41
Q

What is a tautomer?

A

2 or more ISOMERS of a compound together in an equilibrium mixture.

42
Q

Oxidation of a primary alcohol and secondary alcohol into ….

A

Primary alcohol to aldehyde to carboxylic acid.

Secondary alcohol to ketone to no more oxidation.

43
Q

What is the chemical reagent for the oxidation of primary/ secondary alcohols?

A

H+/ K2Cr2O7 or permanganate oxidising agent.

44
Q

What is the biological reagent for the oxidation of primary/ secondary alcohols?

A

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) + NAD(P)+.

45
Q

What reaction is used when testing for sugars? (Reactants/ Products)

A

Aldehyde to Carboxylic Acid

46
Q

What is the Silver Mirror Test made of?

What happens in this test?

A

Tollens Reagent= Silver Nitrate, Aqueous Ammonia, NaOH.

Aldehyde is oxidised so reduced silver.

47
Q

What is Benedicts Solution and Fehling Solution made of?

What happens in this test?

A

Benedict’s Reagent= CuSO4 + alkaline citrate.
Fehling’s= CuSO4 + alkaline tartrate.
Cu2+ is reduced to Cu+.

48
Q

What is a positive result for Benedict’s/ Fehlings Solution?

A

Blue Solution to Brick- Red precipitate

49
Q

What is the chemical reagent for the reduction of an aldehyde/ ketone?

A

Need source of H2 or H+/H-

NaBH4, LiAlH4, Diisobutyaluminimum hybride; H2 and Pd/Pt/ Ni

50
Q

What is the biological reagent for the reduction of an aldehyde/ ketone?

A

NAD(P)H

51

52
Q

Describe the a-substitution mechanism.

A
  1. Addition
  2. Condensation
    Aldehyde to aldol to alkene
53
Q

How do you test for ketones?

A

Using a dip stick.

54
Q

What is a positive result?

A

Colourless to Purple (Darkness how many ketones present).

55
Q

In alpha substitution what is the enzyme for carbohydrate metabolism?

A

Aldolases.
