Aldehydes and ketones are responsible for many flavors and odors that you will readily recognize: H CO O O 3 O O H H HO H Vanillin Cinnamaldehyde (R)-Carvone Benzaldehyde (Vanilla flavor) (Cinnamon flavor) (Spearmint flavor) (Almond flavor) Many important biological compounds also exhibit the carbonyl moiety, including progester- one and testosterone, the female and male sex hormones. O OH H H H H H H O O Progesterone Testosterone Simple aldehydes and ketones are industrially important; for example: O O HH H3C CH3 Formaldehyde Acetone Acetone is used as a solvent and is commonly found in nail polish remover, while formaldehyde is used as a preservative in some vaccine formulations. Aldehydes and ketones are also used as build- ing blocks in the syntheses of commercially important compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers. Compounds containing a carbonyl group react with a large variety of nucleophiles, affording a wide range of possible products. Due to the versatile reactivity of the carbonyl group, aldehydes and ketones occupy a central role in organic chemistry. klein_c20_001-056v1.4.indd 2 30/04/10 16.46 20.2 Nomenclature 3 20.2 Nomenclature Nomenclature of Aldehydes Recall that four discrete steps are required to name most classes of organic compounds (as we saw with alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alcohols): 1. Identify and name the parent. 2. Identify and name the substituents. 3. Assign a locant to each substituent. 4. Assemble the substituents alphabetically. Aldehydes are also named using the same four-step procedure. When applying this procedure for naming aldehydes, the following guidelines should be followed: When naming the parent, the suffix “-al” indicates the presence of an aldehyde group: O H Butane Butanal When choosing the parent of an aldehyde, identify the longest chain that includes the carbon atom of the aldehydic group: The parent must include HO this carbon atom Parent=Octane Parent=Hexanal When numbering the parent chain of an aldehyde, the aldehydic carbon is assigned num- ber 1, despite the presence of alkyl substituents, U bonds, or hydroxyl groups: Correct Incorrect 24 6 64 2 H 135 7 H 753 1 O OH O OH It is not necessary to include the locant in the name, because it is understood that the aldehydic carbon is the number 1 position. As with all compounds, when a chirality center is present, the configuration is indicated at the beginning of the name; for example: O H Cl (R)-2-chloro-3-phenylpropanal A cyclic compound containing an aldehyde group immediately adjacent to the ring is named as a carbaldehyde: O H Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde klein_c20_001-056v1.4.indd 3 30/04/10 16.46 4 CHAPTER 20 Aldehydes and Ketones The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature also recognizes the common names of many simple aldehydes, including the three examples shown below: O O O HH H3C H H Formaldehyde Acetaldehyde Benzaldehyde Nomenclature of Ketones Ketones, like aldehydes, are named using the same four-step procedure. When naming the par- ent, the suffix “-one” indicates the presence of a ketone group: O Butane Butanone The position of the ketone group is indicated using a locant. The IUPAC rules published in 1979 dictate that this locant be placed immediately before the parent, while the IUPAC recom- mendations released in 1993 and 2004 allow for the locant to be placed immediately before the suffix “-one”: O 3-heptanone or 1357heptan-3-one 2 4 6 Both names above are acceptable IUPAC names. IUPAC nomenclature recognizes the common names of many simple ketones, including the three examples shown below: O O O CH3 H3CCH3 Acetone Acetophenone Benzophenone Although rarely used, IUPAC rules also allow simple ketones to be named as alkyl alkyl ketones. For example, 3-hexanone can also be called ethyl propyl ketone: O C Ethyl propyl ketone SKILLBUILDER 20.1 NAMING ALDEHYDES AND KETONES LEARN the skill *ÀÛ`iÊ>ÊÃÞÃÌi>ÌVÊ1* ®Ê>iÊvÀÊÌ iÊvÜ}ÊV«Õ`\ O SOLUTION 8 79 STEP 1 / iÊwÀÃÌÊÃÌi«ÊÃÊÌÊ`iÌvÞÊ>`Ê>iÊÌ iÊ«>ÀiÌ°Ê ÃiÊÌ iÊ- 2 46 `iÌvÞÊ>`Ê>iÊÌ iÊ }iÃÌÊV >ÊÌ >ÌÊVÕ`iÃÊÌ iÊV>ÀLÞÊ}ÀÕ«]Ê>`ÊÌ iÊÕLiÀÊÌ iÊ 1 «>ÀiÌ° V >ÊÌÊ}ÛiÊÌ iÊV>ÀLÞÊ}ÀÕ«ÊÌ iÊÜiÃÌÊÕLiÀÊ«ÃÃLi\ 3 5 O 3-nonanone klein_c20_001-056v1.4.indd 4 30/04/10 16.46 20.2 Nomenclature 5 iÝÌ]Ê`iÌvÞÊÌ iÊÃÕLÃÌÌÕiÌÃÊ>`Ê>ÃÃ}ÊV>ÌÃ\ STEP 2 4,4-dimethyl 8 `iÌvÞÊ>`Ê>iÊÌ iÊ 79 ÃÕLÃÌÌÕiÌð STEP 3 2 46 1 ÃÃ}Ê>ÊV>ÌÊÌÊi>V Ê 3 5 ÃÕLÃÌÌÕiÌ° 6-ethyl O >Þ]Ê>ÃÃiLiÊÌ iÊÃÕLÃÌÌÕiÌÃÊ>« >LiÌV>Þ\ÊÈiÌ Þ{]{`iÌ ÞÎ>i°Ê ivÀiÊ VVÕ`}]ÊÜiÊÕÃÌÊ>Ü>ÞÃÊV iVÊÌÊÃiiÊvÊÌ iÀiÊ>ÀiÊ>ÞÊV À>ÌÞÊViÌiÀðÊ/ ÃÊV«Õ`Ê `iÃÊiÝ LÌÊiÊV À>ÌÞÊViÌiÀ°Ê1Ã}ÊÌ iÊÃÃÊvÀÊ-iVÌÊx°Î]ÊÌ iÊRÊVw}ÕÀ>ÌÊÃÊ STEP 4 ÃÃiLiÊÌ iÊ >ÃÃ}i`ÊÌÊÌ ÃÊV À>ÌÞÊViÌiÀ\ ÃÕLÃÌÌÕiÌÃÊ >« >LiÌV>Þ° STEP 5 ÃÃ}ÊÌ iÊVw}ÕÀ>ÌÊ R vÊ>ÞÊV À>ÌÞÊViÌiÀð O / iÀivÀi]ÊÌ iÊV«iÌiÊ>iÊÃÊ(R)-6-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-nonanone.
