Chapter 4 Aldehydes and Ketones Chapter 4 Aldehydes and Ketones Chapter Objectives: • Learn to recognize the aldehyde and ketone functional groups. • Learn the IUPAC system for naming aldehydes and ketones. The Carbonyl Group • Learn the important physical properties of the aldehydes and ketones. • Learn the major chemical reaction of aldehydes and ketones, and learn how to predict the products of hydrogenation, oxidation, and addition of alcohol reactions. • Learn to recognize the acetal, hemiacetal, ketal, and hemiketal group, and how these are related to aldehydes and ketones.

O O • The carbon and oxygen in the carbonyl group are C C sp2-hybridized, with bond angles of 120°. RR' RH ketone aldehyde O O O O O O sp2 C C C HCR' C C the carbonyl group RO RO ROR' •In ketones, two carbon groups are attached to the carboxylic acid ester acid anhydride carbonyl carbon, while in aldehydes at least one hydrogen is attached to the carbon.

The numbering continues clockwise or Br O O CH3 counterclockwise to give the lowest number for the next substituent. CH3CHCH2 CH H C CH2 CH CH CH3 • Molecules with more than one ketone group are CH3 named by preceding the suffix with a counting prefix (dione, trione, etc.); position numbers must be used for each ketone group.

O C Physical Properties of • This creates weak attractive forces between carbonyl Aldehydes and Ketones compounds, but these attractions are not as strong as those that result from hydrogen-bonding. CO CO CO 15 16 The Boiling Points of Aldehydes and Ketones The Boiling Points of Aldehydes and Ketones • Since there is no hydrogen on the carbonyl oxygen, aldehydes and ketones do not form hydrogen bonds with themselves. • Aldehydes and ketones therefore have boiling points that are in between those of alcohols and hydrocarbons of the same molecular weight: – Alcohols form hydrogen bonds, and have high boiling points. – Hydrocarbons are nonpolar, and have low boiling points. – Aldehydes and ketones are polar, so they have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons, but they are not as polar as molecules which can hydrogen bond. 17 18 Chapter 4 Aldehydes and Ketones Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones • Carbonyl compounds cannot hydrogen-bond to each other, but they can hydrogen-bond to water through Boiling Points: Water Solubility: the carbonyl oxygen.
