Because this group is the functional group of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids and their derivatives, it is one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry and in the chemistry of biological systems. The chemical properties of the carbonyl group are straightforward, and an understanding of its characteristic reaction themes leads very quickly to an understanding of a wide variety of organic reactions.

  • Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones
    Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones 14.1 Structures and Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones Ketones and aldehydes are related in that they each possess a C=O (carbonyl) group. They differ in that the carbonyl carbon in ketones is bound to two carbon atoms (RCOR’), while that in aldehydes is bound to at least one hydrogen (H2CO and RCHO). Thus aldehydes always place the carbonyl group on a terminal (end) carbon, while the carbonyl group in ketones is always internal. Some common examples include (common name in parentheses): O O H HH methanal (formaldehyde) trans-3-phenyl-2-propenal (cinnamaldehyde) preservative oil of cinnamon O O propanone (acetone) 3-methylcyclopentadecanone (muscone) nail polish remover a component of one type of musk oil Simple aldehydes (e.g. formaldehyde) typically have an unpleasant, irritating odor. Aldehydes adjacent to a string of double bonds (e.g. 3-phenyl-2-propenal) frequently have pleasant odors. Other examples include the primary flavoring agents in oil of bitter almond (Ph- CHO) and vanilla (C6H3(OH)(OCH3)(CHO)). As your book says, simple ketones have distinctive odors (similar to acetone) that are typically not unpleasant in low doses. Like aldehydes, placing a collection of double bonds adjacent to a ketone carbonyl generally makes the substance more fragrant. The primary flavoring agent in oil of caraway is just a such a ketone. 2 O oil of carraway Because the C=O group is polar, small aldehydes and ketones enjoy significant water solubility. They are also quite soluble in typical organic solvents. 14.2 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes The IUPAC names for aldehydes are obtained by using rules similar to those we’ve seen for other functional groups (e.g.

  • Carbonyl Compounds
    CARBONYL COMPOUNDS PART-4, PPT-4, SEM-3 Dr. Kalyan Kumar Mandal Associate Professor St. Paul’s C. M. College Kolkata CONTENTS: CARBONYL COMPOUNDS PART-4 • Formation of Acetal/Ketal • Formation of Thioacetal Reaction of Carbonyl Compounds with Alcohols • Carbonyl compounds react with alcohols. The product of this reaction is known as a hemiacetal, because it is halfway to an acetal. This reaction is analogous to hydrate formation from aldehydes and ketones. The mechanism follows in the footsteps of hydrate formation: ROH is used instead of HOH (water). This Lecture is prepared by Dr. K. K. Mandal, SPCMC, Kolkata Formation of Cyclic Hemiacetal • Hemiacetal formation is reversible, and they are stabilized by the same special structural features as those of hydrates. However, hemiacetals can also gain stability by being cyclic. • Cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the carbonyl group and the attacking hydroxyl group are part of the same molecule. The reaction is an intramolecular (within the same molecule) addition, as opposed to the intermolecular (between two molecules) ones. This is an example of ring-chain tautomerism. This Lecture is prepared by Dr. K. K. Mandal, SPCMC, Kolkata Formation of Cyclic Hemiacetal • Although the cyclic hemiacetal is more stable, it is still in equilibrium with some of the open-chain hydroxyaldehyde form. Its stability, and how easily it forms, depend on the size of the ring. • Five- and six-membered rings involve less strain (their bonds are free to adopt 109° or 120° angles) in comparison to the three- membered rings, and therefore five or six-membered hemiacetals are very common.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

  • Chapter 3. the Concept of Protecting Functional Groups
    Chapter 3. The Concept of Protecting Functional Groups When a chemical reaction is to be carried out selectively at one reactive site in a multifunctional compound, other reactive sites must be temporarily blocked. A protecting group must fulfill a number of requirements: • The protecting group reagent must react selectively (kinetic chemoselectivity) in good yield to give a protected substrate that is stable to the projected reactions. • The protecting group must be selectively removed in good yield by readily available reagents. • The protecting group should not have additional functionality that might provide additional sites of reaction. 3.1 Protecting of NH groups Primary and secondary amines are prone to oxidation, and N-H bonds undergo metallation on exposure to organolithium and Grignard reagents. Moreover, the amino group possesses a lone pair electrons, which can be protonated or reacted with electrophiles. To render the lone pair electrons less reactive, the amine can be converted into an amide via acylation. N-Benzylamine Useful for exposure to organometallic reagents or metal hydrides Hydrogenolysis Benzylamines are not cleaved by Lewis acid Pearlman’s catalyst Amides Basicity of nitrogen is reduced, making them less susceptible to attack by electrophilic reagent The group is stable to pH 1-14, nucleophiles, organometallics (except organolithium reagents), catalytic hydrogenation, and oxidation. Cleaved by strong acid (6N HCl, HBr) or diisobutylaluminum hydride Carbamates Behave like a amides, hence no longer act as nucleophile Stable to oxidizing agents and aqueous bases but may react with reducing agents. Iodotrimethylsilane is often the reagent for removal of this protecting group Stable to both aqueous acid and base Benzoyloxycarbonyl group for peptide synthesis t-butoxycarbonyl group(Boc) is inert to hydrogenolysis and resistant to bases and nucleophilic reagent.

  • Carbonyl Compounds Carbonyl Compounds Are the Organic Compounds Containing Carbon-Oxygen Double Bond (>C=0)
    Carbonyl Compounds Carbonyl Compounds are the organic compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond (>C=0). >C=O is the most important functional group of organic chemistry. Carbonyl compounds in which carbonyl group is bonded to a carbon and hydrogen are known as aldehydes. Carbonyl compounds in which carbonyl group is bonded to carbon atoms are known as ketons. The carbonyl compounds in which carbonyl group is bonded to oxygen are known as carboxylic acids, and their derivatives (e.g. esters, anhydrides) Carbonyl compounds where carbon is attached to nitrogen are called amides. Carbonyl compounds where carbon is attached to haligen are called acyl halides. In short, carbonyl compounds can be divided into two major groups Aldehydes & Ketones Carboxylic Acid & Its derivatives Structure of Carbonyl Group Carbonyl carbon is joined to three other atoms by s bonds; since these bonds utilize sp2 orbitals, they lie in a plane, and are 120° apart. The remaining p-orbitals of carbon overlaps a p-orbital of oxygen to form a p bond; carbon and oxygen are thus joined by a double bond. The part of the molecule immediately surrounding carbonyl carbon lies in a plane. The electrons of a carbonyl double bond hold together atoms of quite different electronegativity and hence the electrons are not equally shared; in particular the polar p- cloud is pulled strongly towards the more electronegative atom, oxygen. The carbonyl group, C = O, governs the chemistry of aldehydes and ketones. It does this in two ways: a) By providing a site for nucleophilic addition, and b) By increasing the acidity of hydrogen atoms attached to the alpha carbon.
