Resource summary
Carbonyl Compounds
Aldehydes
Prep.
Primary alcohol + ox. agent --> aldehyde + water
Ethanol + [O] -> ethanal
Products should be distilled as they form
Oxidation under reflux gives carboxylic acid
Ethanal + [O] -> ethanoic acid
Reduction:
NaBH4 or LiAlH4
Al + red. agent --> primary alcohol
Ethanal + 2[H] -> ethanol
Can be thought of as nucleophilicaddition
Nucleophilic addition:
HCN: Sn1 mechanism (formation of carbocation)
Tests:
2,4- DNPH
Positive, pulpy orange ppt
-hydrazine to -hydrazone
Felhing's:
From blue to brick red on warming
Cu(2+) to Cu(+) ions
Positive
Tollens':
Positive
Silver mirror formed on warming
Carboxylate ion formed as organic product
Ketones
Prep.
Secondary alcohol + ox. agent --> ketone + water
Reduction:
Ketone + 2[H] -> secondary alcohol
Propanone + 2[H] -> propan-2-ol
Nucleophilic addition:
Sn1 addition of HCN
Tests:
2,4- DNPH
Positive, pulpy orange ppt
-hydrazine to -hydrazone
Tollens':
Negative
