Structure and properties
The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are sp2 hybridized.

Structure and properties
The carbon oxygen double bond is very polarized. The dipole moments of aldehydes and ketones are larger than most alkyl halides and ether.

u = 2.7 D u = 2.9 D u = 1.9 D
The high polarization of the carbonyl is due to the electronegativity of oxygen and the separation of charge in the resonance form.

Structure and properties
The large polarization of the carbonyl functional group produces dipole-dipole interaction between the molecules of aldehydes and ketones.

Structure and properties
Hydrogen bonding does not occur between aldehyde and ketone molecules. Hydrogen bonding can occur with other molecules such as water, alcohols and amines.
![Page 7: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Solubility
Soluble in alcohols. Lone pair of electrons on oxygen of
carbonyl can accept a hydrogen bond from O-H or N-H.
Acetone and acetaldehyde are miscible in water. Solubility does decrease with longer chain length (> 4-5 carbons).
![Page 8: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Naming Ketones (IUPAC)
Replace -e with -one. Indicate the position of the carbonyl with a number. For diones, don’t drop the final –e. Just add –dione.
Number the chain so that carbonyl carbon has the lowest number.
For cyclic ketones the carbonyl carbon is assigned the number 1.
-CHO > RCOR > R-OH > R-NH2 > C=C > C=C

Ketones from Carboxylates
Organolithium compounds attack the carbonyl and form a dianion.
Neutralization with aqueous acid produces an unstable hydrate that loses water to form a ketone.
The reaction can be done by first treating with one eq. of LiOH followed by a alkyl/aryl lithium reagent. Consider what is happening in each step (mechanistically how does the reaction work?).

Nucleophilic Addition
Note: The carbonyl carbon is an electrophilic center.
The addition of a nucleophile to the carbonyl carbon is the most common reaction of aldehydes and ketones.
![Page 51: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Nucleophilic Addition
There two general types of addition reactions.
Strong nucleophiles attack the carbonyl carbon, forming an alkoxide ion. The resulting alkoxide is then protonated to give an alcohol. (see previous slide)
Weak nucleophiles attack a carbonyl if it has been protonated (acid conditions). Protonation of the carbonyl increases the reactivity of the carbonyl carbon toward nucleophilic attack. The final step is deprotonation of the nucleophile.
![Page 52: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Nucleophilic Addition
Strong nucleophile addition.
If the carbonyl carbon becomes a stereo center in the product, both enantiomer are produced.

Addition of Water hydration
In acid, water is the nucleophile. In base, hydroxide is the nucleophile. Aldehydes are more electrophilic since they have
fewer e--donating alkyl groups. (more reactive)

Addition of Alcohols
The addition of alcohols to the carbonyl is similar to the addition of water.
![Page 56: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Mechanism
The formation of acetals and ketals is acid catalyzed.
Adding H+ to carbonyl makes it more reactive with weak nucleophile, ROH.
The addition of a single alcohol produces a hemiacetal. Under the acidic reaction conditions water is loss, followed by addition of a second molecule of ROH forming the acetal.
All steps are equilibrium processes (reversible) .
![Page 57: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Mechanism for Hemiacetal
The acid catalyst protonates the carbonyl. Alcohol (a weak nucleophile) then adds to the
carbonyl. Loss of H+ gives the hemiacetal.
![Page 58: Aldehydes and Ketones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052118/56814496550346895db13849/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Cyclic Acetals
Formation of cyclic acetals is used as a way of protecting the carbonyl group from under going nucleophilic attack in subsequent reactions. The protecting group can be remove by treatment with dilute acid.
Cyclic acetals are made by reacting the aldehyde or ketone with a diol

Formation of Imines
The formation of an imine involves an initial nucleophilic attack by ammonia or a primary amine on the carbonyl carbon. Followed by subsequent loss of a water molecule.
The C=O becomes a C=N-R group where R= H, alkyl or aryl
“imine” also called a Schiff base when R is an alkyl group

Wittig Reaction
This reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of a phosphorus ylides to the carbonyl carbon.
The product of a Wittig reaction is an alkene.

Phosphorus Ylides
The ylide is prepared by first reacting triphenylphosphine with an unhindered alkyl halide (methyl or primary halide) to form a phosphonium salt.
Treatment with butyllithium then abstracts a hydrogen from the carbon attached to phosphorus to produce the ylide.

Mechanism for Wittig
The negative C on ylide attacks the positive C of carbonyl to form a betaine.
Oxygen combines with phosphine to form the phosphine oxide.

Tollens Test
Tollens reagent is prepared by adding ammonia to a AgNO3 solution until the precipitate dissolves.
Addition of Tollens reagent to a solution containing an aldehyde results in the formation of a silver mirror.

Reduction Reagents
Sodium borohydride, NaBH4, reduces C=O, but not C=C.
Lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH4, much stronger, difficult to handle.
Hydrogen gas with catalyst also reduces the C=C bond.

Two methods: Clemmensen reduction if molecule is stable in
hot acid. Wolff-Kishner reduction if molecule is stable in
very strong base.
