CARBONYL COMPOUNDS ALDEHYDES KETONES
EXAMPLES Formaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetone
MOLECULAR MODELS Formaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetone
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Catalytic dehydrogenation (oxidation) of alcohols
Physical properties of aldehydes and ketones • More polar than alkanes, higher melting and boiling points • No hydrogen bonds formation – lower boiling points than alcohols • Solubility in water – only formaldehyde, • acetaldehyde and acetone
Preparation of aldehydes Oxidation of primary alcohols Aldehyde which boils at lower temperature than alcohol is distilled off the reaction mixture immediately after formation
Preparation of aldehydes Ozonolysis of di- or trisubstituted alkenes
Preparation of aldehydes Reduction of carboxylic acids esters DIBAH – diisobutylaluminum hydride (aldehyde is not reduced further to primary alcohol)
Preparation of aldehydes Reduction of carboxylic acids chlorides Tri-tert-butoxylithiumaluminum hydride
Preparation of aldehydes Oxidation of methylarenes
Preparation of ketones Oxidation of secondary alcohols 90% yield
Preparation of ketones Ozonolysis of alkenes
Preparation of ketones Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes (electrophilic aromatic substitution) 95% yield
Preparation of ketones Hydration of alkynes (terminal or symmetric) 78% yield
Preparation of ketones Reaction of acid chloride and diorganocopper reagent 81% yield
Oxidation of aldehydes and ketones Tollens oxidation Reaction used as laboratory test to distinguish aldehyde and ketone
Oxidation of ketones Reaction limited to symmetric cyclic ketones
Nucleophilic addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones Alcohol Alcohol Cyanohydrin Alkene Imine Alkane Acetal Enamine
Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones Nu Formaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetone Steric factor Access of nuclephile to carbonyl carbon is less hindered in aldehyde (hydrogen is smaller than any alkyl substituent)
Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones Electronic factor Positive charge on carbon is stronger stabilized by inductive effect of two alkyl groups Ketones are more stable – less reactive
Nucleophilic addition of H2O (hydration) A gem-diol A gem-diol
Base-catalyzed addition of H2O Hydroxide anion is more reactive nucleophile than neutral water
Acid-catalyzed addition of H2O Protonated carbonyl is more electrophilic and more reactive
Nucleophilic addition of HCN (cyanohydrins) In practice HCN is generated during reaction by adding acid (like H2SO4) to a mixture of carbonyl compound and NaCN (or KCN). Cyanide anion is nucleophile
Reactions of cyanohydrins Cyanohydrin formation from ketone or aldehyde provides compounds with new functional groups while lenghtening the carbon chain by one unit
Nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents (alcohol formation) New alcohol with larger hydrocarbon framework is obtained
Nucleophilic addition of hydride (reduction) Alcohol with the same hydrocarbon framework as starting ketone or aldehyde is formed
Crystalline imines m. p. 126°C
Nucleophilic addition of hydrazine (Wolff-Kishner reaction)
Nucleophilic addition of alcohols (acetal formation) Protonated carbonyl group is strongly electrophilic and highly reactive towards nucleophiles
Nucleophilic addition of alcohols (acetal formation)
Acetal as carbonyl protective group How to reduce ester carbonyl without reducing ketone carbonyl?
Nucleophilic addition of thiols (thioacetal formation) Conversion of carbonyl to thioacetal and subsequent desulfurization is a method for reducing C=O to CH2
Nucleophilic addition of phosphorus ylides (The Wittig reaction) New molecule containing C=C bond instead of carbonyl group is synthesized
Conjugate nucleophilic addition to ,-unsaturated carbonyl ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds possess 2 electrophilic carbons Conjugate addition product
Conjugate nucleophilic addition to ,-unsaturated carbonyl
Some biological nucleophilic additions Synthesis of -amino acid from -ketoacid in living cells
Biological reaction reverse to nucleophilic addition Millipede Apheloria corrugata and itspredator – an ant
The Cannizzaro reaction The only example when hydride ion is expelled from aldehyde as leaving group (like in nucleophilic acyl substitution) Nucleophilic acyl substitution
The Cannizzaro reaction (disproportionation) Only aldehydes without protons at -carbon react this way in the presence of base
The Cannizzaro reaction as model for biological reductions NADPH functions as hydride donor in biological reductions
