Aldehydes and Ketones • The carbonyl group is found in aldehydes and ketones. • In an aldehyde, an H atom is attached to a carbonyl group. • In a ketone, two carbon groups are attached to a carbonyl group.
The Polar Carbonyl Group The carbonyl group (C=O): • Consists of a sigma and pi bond. • Has a partially negative O and a partially positive C. • Has polarity that influences the properties of aldehydes and ketones.
Naming Aldehydes • In the IUPAC names for aldehydes, the -e in the corresponding alkane is replaced by –al. • Common names use a prefix with aldehyde:form (1C), acet (2C), propion (3), and butyr (4C)
Aldehydes in Flavorings • Several naturally occurring aldehydes are used as flavorings for foods and fragrances.
Naming Ketones • In the IUPAC name, the -e in the alkane name is replaced with –one. • In the common name, add the word ketone after naming the alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl group. OO || ||CH3—-C—CH3 CH3—C—CH2—CH3Propanone 2-Butanone(Dimethyl ketone; (Ethyl methyl ketone) Acetone)
Ketones in Common Use Propanone, Dimethylketone, Acetone
