Organic Chemistrt Aldehydes And Ketones Flashcards
Oxidation of aldehydes
Reactions and conditions
Aldehyde+[O] = carboxylic acid+ H2O
Acidified potassium dichromate and distil
Reduction of aldehyde via nucleophillic addition
Reaction and conditions
Aldehyde+2[H]= alcohol
NaBH4/ H2O
Increasing carbon chain length of an aldehyde via nucleophillic addition of HCN
Reaction and conditions
Aldehyde+HCN= hydroxynitrile
H2SO4/NaCN
An aldehyde or ketone will produce a yellow precipitate when reacted with
2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine
Testing for aldehyde with tokens reagents
Aldehyde+Ag+= carboxylic acid + Ag

NaBH4/ H2O
Increasing carbon chain length of ketone via nucleophillic addition of HCN
Reaction+ conditions
Ketone+HCN= hydroxynitrile
