Chapter 18: Ketones and Aldehydes
Carbonyl • C=O bond is shorter, stronger and more polar than C=C bond in alkenes
Nomenclature: Ketone • Number chain so the carbonyl carbon has the lowest number • Replace “e” with “one”
Nomenclature: Cyclic Ketone • Carbonyl carbon is #1
Nomenclature: Aldehydes • Carbonyl carbon is #1 • Replace “e” with “al” • If aldehyde is attached to ring, suffix “carbaldehyde” is used
Nomenclature • With higher-priority functional groups, ketone is “oxo” and an aldehyde is a “formyl” group • Aldehydes have higher priority than ketones
Nomenclature- Common Names: Ketones • Name alkyl groups attached to carbonyl • Use lower case Greek letters instead of numbers
Boiling Points • Ketones and aldehydes are more polar. Have higher boiling point that comparable alkanes or ethers
Solubility: Ketones and Aldehydes • Good solvent for alcohols • Acetone and acetaldehyde are miscible in water
Formaldehyde • Gas at room temperature
IR Spectroscopy • Strong C=O stretch around 1710 cm-1 (ketones) or 1725 cm-1 (simple aldehydes) • C-H stretches for aldehydes: 2710 and 2810 • cm-1
IR Spectroscopy • Conjugation lowers carbonyl frequencies to about 1685 cm-1 • Rings with ring strain have higher C=O frequencies
Proton NMR Spectra • Aldehyde protons normally around δ9-10 • Alpha carbon around δ2.1-2.4
McLafferty Rearrangement • Net result: breaking of the , bond and transfer of a proton from the carbon to oxygen
Ultraviolet Spectra of Conjugated Carbonyls • Have characteristic absorption in UV spectrum • Additional conjugate C=C increases max about 30 nm, additional alkyl groups increase about 10nm
Industrial Uses • Acetone and methyl ethyl ketone are common solvents • Formaldehyde is used in polymers like Bakelite and other polymeric products • Used as flavorings and additives for food
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • The alcohol product of a Grignard reaction can be oxidized to a carbonyl
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Pyridiniumchlorochromate (PCC) or aSwern oxidation takes primary alcohols to aldehydes
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Alkenes can be oxidatively cleaved by ozone, followed by reduction
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Friedel-Crafts Acylation
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Hydration of Alkynes • Involves a keto-enoltautomerization • Mixture of ketones seen with internal alkynes
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Hydroboration-oxidation of alkyne • Anti-Markovnikov addition
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Organolithium + carboxylic acid ketone (after dehydration)
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Grignard or organolithium reagent + nitrile ketone (after hydrolysis)
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Reduction of nitriles with aluminum hydrides will afford aldehydes
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Mild reducing agent lithium aluminum tri(t-butoxy)hydride with acid chlorides
Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones • Organocuprate (Gilman reagent) + acid chloride ketone
Nucleophilic Addition • Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones
Wittig Reaction • Converts the carbonyl group into a new C=C bond • Phosphorusylide is used as the nucleophile
Wittig Reaction • Phosphorusylides are prepared from triphenylphosphine and an unhindered alkyl halide • Butyllithium then abstracts a hydrogen from the carbon attached to phosphorus
Wittig Reaction- Mechanism • Betaine formation • Oxaphosphetane formation
Wittig Reaction- Mechanism • Oxaphosphetane collapse
How would you synthesize the following molecule using a Wittig Reaction
Hydration of Ketones and Aldehydes • In aqueous solution, a ketone or aldehyde is in equilibrium with it’s hydrate • Ketones: equilibrium favors keto form
Hydration of Ketones and Aldehydes • Acid-Catalyzed
Hydration of Ketones and Aldehydes • Base-Catalyzed
Cyanohydrin Formation • Base-catalyzed nucleophilic addition • HCN is highly toxic
Formation of Imines • Imines are nitrogen analogues of ketones and aldehydes • Optimum pH is around 4.5
