Aldehyde Nomenclature • Find the longest chain that contains the aldehyde. • The suffix –al replaces the –e of the corresponding alkane. • The carbonyl carbon receives the lowest number. • Branches are named using the IUPAC system • Complex aldehydes (-CHO is attached to a ring) use the suffix: -carbaldehyde Farshid Zand

Common Names of Aldehydes Farshid Zand
Ketone Nomenclature • Find the longest chain that contains the ketone (it MUST NOT BE at the end) • Use the base hydrocarbon name; drop the –e and replace with –one. • The carbonyl group has to be assigned the lowest possible number. • In complex molecules, the carbonyl group can be named as a prefix with the term oxo- Farshid Zand

Oxidation of Aldehydes and Ketones • aldehydes- readily oxidized to form carboxylic acids • Ketones-inert but can be with hot alkaline KMnO4 REASON: aldehydes have a –CHO proton that can be removed during oxidation; ketones don’t. • Oxidizing agents: KMnO4 HNO3 CrO3 in acidic conditions Tollens reagent (Ag2O) in aqueous ammonia Farshid Zand

Nucleophilic Addition Rxns of Aldehydes and Ketones • Nucleophile attacks the electrophilic C=O carbon from a direction ~45˚ to the plane of the carbonyl group. • At the same time: Rehybridization of the carbonyl carbon from sp2 to sp3 occurs, an electron pair from the carbon-oxygen double bond moves toward the electronegative oxygen atom, and a tetrahedral alkoxide ion intermediate is produced. Farshid Zand
Attacking Nucleophiles • Can be negatively charged or neutral at the reaction site Negatively charged Nucleophiles • HO- (hydroxide ion) • H- (hydride ion) • R3C- (a carbanion) • RO- (an alkoxide ion) • CN- (cyanide ion) Neutral Nucleophiles • H2O (water) • ROH (an alcohol) • H3N (ammonia) • RNH2 (an amine) Farshid Zand

Nucleophilic Addition Rxns of Aldehydes and Ketones • Elimination of the carbonyl oxygen atom at HO- or H2O to give a product with C=Nu double bond. Farshid Zand
Relative Reactivity of Aldehydes and Ketones • Reactivity in nucleophilic addition rxns Aldehydes >>> ketones aliphatic aldehydes >>>aromatic aldehydes Farshid Zand
Steric Reason why Aldehydes are More Reactive than Ketones • nucleophile is able to approach aldehydes more readily because it only has 1 large substituent bonded to the C=O carbon, vs. 2 in ketones. • transition state for the aldehyde rxn is therefore less crowded and has lower energy. aldehydeketone Farshid Zand
Electronic Reason why Aldehydes are More Reactive than Ketones • greater polarization of aldehyde carbonyl group • aldehyde is more electrophilic and more reactive than ketones. 2˚carbocation (more stable, less reactive) Ketone (more stabilization of ς+, less reactive) 1˚ carbocation (less stable, more reactive) Aldehyde (less stabilization of ς+, more reactive) ς- ς- ς+ ς+ Farshid Zand
Why: aromatic aldehydes >>> aliphatic aldehydes • The electon-donating resonance effect of the aromatic ring makes the carbonyl group less electrophilic than the carbonyl group of the aliphatic aldehyde. Farshid Zand
Why: aromatic aldehydes >>> aliphatic aldehydes…example • Comparing electrostatic potential maps of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde, shows that the carbonyl carbon atom is less positive in the aromatic aldehyde formaldehydebenzaldehyde Farshid Zand
Nucleophilic Addition of H2O: Hydration • Aldehydes and ketones react with water to yield a geminal diol. This hydration process is reversible. • Nucleophilic addition of water is catalyzed by acid and base. • Base-catalyzed • Acid-catalyzed Farshid Zand
Nucleophilic Addition of HCN: Cyanohydrin Formation • Aldehydes and unhindered ketones react with HCN to yield cyanohydrins. This formation is reversible and base-catalyzed. • Cyanohydrins formation is unusual due to the addition of protic acid to a carbonyl group, but useful because of further chemistry. • Reduced with LiAlH4, yielding primary amine. • Hydrolyzed with hot aqueous acid, yielding carboxylic acid. Farshid Zand
Nucleophilic Addition of Grignard & Hydride Reagents: Alcohol Formation • Grignard reagents R-MgX, strongly polarized reacts with an acid-base behavior. Nucleophilic addition of a carbanion to an aldehyde or ketone, followed by protonation of alkoxide intermediate, yields an alcohol. • Addition of hydride ion, from LiAlH4 or NaBH4, and water or aqueous acid yields an alcohol. Farshid Zand

Nucleophilic Addition of Hydrazine:Wolff-Kishner Reaction • Addition of hydrazine converts aldehyde/ketone to an alkane. An intermediate hydrazone forms, followed by base catalyzed double bond migration, loss of N2 gas, finally protonation yields an alkane. Farshid Zand
Nucleophilic Addition of Alcohols: Acetal Formation • Acetals and Ketals are formed by reacting two equivalents of an alcohol with an aldehyde or ketone, in the presence of an acid catalyst. • Hemiacetals and Hemiketals are formed by reacting only one equivalent of alcohol with the aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an acid catalyst. Further reaction with a second alcohol forms the acetal or ketal. • A diol, with two –OH groups on the same molecule, can be used to form cyclic acetals. • All steps in acetal/ketal formation are reversible.

Nucleophilic Addition of Phosphorus Ylides: The Wittig Reaction • Converts an aldehyde/ketone into an alkene. • A phosphorus ylide(aka phosphorane), , acts as the nucleophile to attack the carbonyl carbon and yields a four-membered ring, dipolar intermediate called the betaine. • The betaine decomposes spontaneously to yield an alkene and a triphenylphosphine oxide. • Can produce monosubstituted, disubstituted, and trisubstituted alkenes. Farshid Zand
Mechanism of the Witting Reaction: Farshid Zand
The Canizzaro Reaction • Requires two equivalents of an aldehyde and a heated aqueous base. • Produces a 1:1 mixture of carboxylic acid and alcohol. • Limited to aldehydes such as formaldehyde and benzaldehyde, which have no hydrogens on carbon next to carbonyl. • Results in simultaneous oxidation and reduction, disproportionation. • Steps: 1. Nucleophillic addition of OH- to first aldehyde forms a tetrahedral intermediate. 2. Tetrahedral intermediate then expels the hydride ion as a leaving group. 3. The second aldehyde picks up the hydride ion. 4. Oxidation of second product yields the acid while reduction of the first product yields an alcohol. Farshid Zand
Mechanism of Cannizzaro Reaction: Farshid Zand
Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition to alpha,beta-Unsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones • Direct addition (aka 1,2 addition) occurs when a nucleophile attacks the carbon in the carbonyl directly. • Conjugate addition (aka 1,4 addition) occurs when the nucleophile attacks the carbonyl indirectly by attacking the second carbon away from the carbonyl group, called the beta carbon, in an unsaturated aldehyde or ketone. • Conjugate addition reactions form an initial product called an enolate, which is protonated on the carbon next to the carbonyl, the alpha carbon, to give the final saturated aldehyde/ketone product. • Conjugate addition can be carried out with nucleophiles such as primary amines, secondary amines, and even alkyl groups like in organocopper reactions. • It is the carbonyl that activates the conjugated C=C double bond for addition which would otherwise not react.
