  1. Topic: Functional Group #5-Aldehydes Do Now: Write the molecular formula for the two sugars on the right. Are they isomers?

  2. O  • General formula: RCH or RCHO • Carbonyl group just like ketone except alwaysat end of aldehyde • Attached to Carbon chain on one side and a H on the other

  3. - O R H H R -  - +  C=O C=O   + + H H Properties = same as ketones Aldehydes are polar! Dissolve in water • Dipole-Dipole interactions • Boiling point: • higher than alkanes (same # C’s) • lower than alcohols (same # C’s)

  4. Acetaldehyde (ethanal) = important aldehyde • Occurs naturally in • Coffee • Bread • Ripe fruit • Produced by plants • Produced by the partial oxidation of ethanol in the liver and may be a contributing factor to hangovers from alcohol consumption • It’s an air pollutant resulting from combustion (car exhaust and cigarette smoke)

  5. Flavoring agents

  6. Naming • Find name of alkane with same # of C’s • change the -e to -al • Never need #’s for aldehydes • b/c functional group always on end C

  7. HCH O  Methanal O H HCCH H  Ethanal common name = acetaldehyde common name = formaldehyde

  8. CH3CH2CH2CHO 4 Carbons so base name is butane Drop -e and add al  butanal CHO ending indicates aldehyde
