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.

  • Development of New Domino Reactions of Alkylidene Meldrum's
    Development of New Domino Reactions of Alkylidene Meldrum’s Acids Involving Friedel-Crafts Chemistry and Catalytic Conjugate Allylation of Alkylidene Meldrum’s Acids by Aaron Michael Dumas A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Aaron Michael Dumas 2009 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of my thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Alkylidene Meldrum’s acids are very reactive acceptors in conjugate additions, and are known to be significantly more electrophilic than other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl electrophiles. They also offer advantages in terms of ease of preparation, purification and storage. Despite this, they are relatively underused in organic synthesis, and have been treated as something of a curiousity in the literature. The goal of my research was to demonstrate the utility of these molecules in new reactions that are not readily available to other electrophiles. To facilitate this work, new conditions for the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with Meldrum’s acid were developed. This allowed access to a broader range of monosubstituted alkylidenes than was previously possible from any single method. In a reaction that exploits the acylating ability of Meldrum’s acid, a domino addition of phenols to alkylidene Meldrum’s acids was developed. Here, Yb(OTf)3 catalyzed the addition of a phenol to the alkylidene as well as acylation through activation of the electrophile.

  • Aldehydes Can React with Alcohols to Form Hemiacetals
    340 14 . Nucleophilic substitution at C=O with loss of carbonyl oxygen You have, in fact, already met some reactions in which the carbonyl oxygen atom can be lost, but you probably didn’t notice at the time. The equilibrium between an aldehyde or ketone and its hydrate (p. 000) is one such reaction. O HO OH H2O + R1 R2 R1 R2 When the hydrate reverts to starting materials, either of its two oxygen atoms must leave: one OPh came from the water and one from the carbonyl group, so 50% of the time the oxygen atom that belonged to the carbonyl group will be lost. Usually, this is of no consequence, but it can be useful. O For example, in 1968 some chemists studying the reactions that take place inside mass spectrometers needed to label the carbonyl oxygen atom of this ketone with the isotope 18 O. 16 18 By stirring the ‘normal’ O compound with a large excess of isotopically labelled water, H 2 O, for a few hours in the presence of a drop of acid they were able to make the required labelled com- í In Chapter 13 we saw this way of pound.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.

  • 20 More About Oxidation–Reduction Reactions
    More About 20 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions OOC n important group of organic reactions consists of those that O A involve the transfer of electrons C from one molecule to another. Organic chemists H OH use these reactions—called oxidation–reduction reactions or redox reactions—to synthesize a large O variety of compounds. Redox reactions are also important C in biological systems because many of these reactions produce HH energy. You have seen a number of oxidation and reduction reactions in other chapters, but discussing them as a group will give you the opportunity to CH3OH compare them. In an oxidation–reduction reaction, one compound loses electrons and one com- pound gains electrons. The compound that loses electrons is oxidized, and the one that gains electrons is reduced. One way to remember the difference between oxidation and reduction is with the phrase “LEO the lion says GER”: Loss of Electrons is Oxi- dation; Gain of Electrons is Reduction. The following is an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction involving inorganic reagents: Cu+ + Fe3+ ¡ Cu2+ + Fe2+ In this reaction,Cu+ loses an electron, so Cu+ is oxidized. Fe3+ gains an electron, so Fe3+ is reduced. The reaction demonstrates two important points about oxidation– reduction reactions. First, oxidation is always coupled with reduction. In other words, a compound cannot gain electrons (be reduced) unless another compound in the reaction simultaneously loses electrons (is oxidized). Second, the compound that is oxidized (Cu+) is called the reducing agent because it loses the electrons that are used to reduce the other compound (Fe3+). Similarly, the compound that is reduced (Fe3+) is called the oxidizing agent because it gains the electrons given up by the other compound (Cu+) when it is oxidized.
