Formula of Ester
R-COOR
Formula of Ether
R-O-R
Classification of alcohol
According to number if hydroxyl group attached to their molecule
-Monohydric
-Dihydric
-Trihydric
According to number of carbon atoms bound to which the hydroxyl group is bound
-primary,secondary,tertiary
Are converted into ketones (RC=OR) on treatment with oxidizing agents
Secondary alcohols
Doesn’t normally reacy with oxidizing agents because they dont have a hydrogen on the carbon atom to which the -OH group is bonded.
Tertiary alcohols
A molecule which has a hydroxyl group OH group directly bonded to an alkene C=C
Alkenols
Alkene alcohol
Enols
Reagent used for test for enol structure
FeCl3- traditional colrimetric test for phenols
Enols interconvert with carbonyl compounds that have an a-hydrogen, like ketones and aldehydes. The compound is deprtonated on one side and protonated on another side, whereas a singlebond and a doublebond are exchanged.
Keto-enol tautomerism
Maldehyde
Cinnamon
Vannilin
Vanilla
Benzaldehyde
Almond
2 simplest families of carbonyl compounds
Aldehydes and ketones
Aldehydes are natural flavors and aromas from?
Cinnamon vanilla and almonds
Ketones are from
Jasmine flower
Male musk deer
Jasmone
Jasmine flower
Muscone
Male musk deer
Ketones are vital to the complex formulas of
Expensive perfumes
Properties of aldehyde and ketones
Moderately polar compound
Have higher bp than alkanes with similar mw
No hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen or nitrogen
Alkane
Alcohol
Aldehydes and ketones
Boiling point
Alkane-lowest
Aldehydes and ketones between alkane and alcohol
Alcohol-highest
State of simple RCHO and RCOR
Liquid
Solubility of RCHO and RCOR
Soluble in common organic solvents
<5 c soluble in water
Increased # of carbons become more alkane like and less water soluble
Dissolve both polar and non-polar solvents
Ketone
Flammability of aldehydes and ketones
Lower boiling aldehydes
Ketones flammable
Toxicity of aldehydes and ketones
Simple ketone-low toxicity
Simple aldehydes-toxic
Esp formaldehyde
Biochem of aldehydes and ketones
Simplest sugar contain either aldehyde or ketone
Oxidation of aldehydes and ketones
Alcohols oxidized to aldehydes or ketones and aldehydes can be oxidized to carboxylic acids
Oxidation of aldehydes
H bonded to the carbonyl carbon replaced by an -OH grp
Oxidation of Ketones
Dont have this hydrogen do not react (except for strong enough)
To prevent oxidation of aldehydes they are stored in
Nitrogen gas
Test that distinguish Aldehyde and ketones
Tollens test or silver mirror test
Tollens reagent component
Diamminesilver I ion
[Ag(NH3)2]+
Result of tollens test
Colorless ketone
Silver mirror aldehyde
Test for detection of aldehyde alpha hydroxy ketone,ketoses
Benedicts test
Benedicts reagent
Copper II ions complexed with citrate ions in sodium carbonate solution
Benedicts test
Reagent sol’n contains blue copper II reduced to give ppt of a red copper I oxidein reaction with an aldehyde sugar
Benedicts test positive result
Clear blue to brick red ppt
Ketone no change colorless
Derivatives of carboxylic acid
Esters and amides
Product of Acetic acid and ethanol
Ethyl acetate with water
Nail polish remover plastic ballon like odor
Product of methanol and salicylic acid
Methyl salicylate
Common name of methyl salicylate
Oil of winter green or efficascent oil
