Aldehydes & Ketones

Aldehydes & Ketones Carbonyl Compounds C = O They are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group they are divided into:

Aldehydes General formula CnH2n+1 CHO

Ketones CnH2n+2CO, R – CO – R R= R we have simple or symmetrical ketones R ≠ R we have unsymmetrical ketones

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: Oxidation of primary alc. gives aldehydes while secondary alcohols give ketones.

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation:

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: 2. Dry distillation of salts of acids: Calcium salts are generally used in this reaction.

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: A mixture of calcium acetate and formate gives acetaldehyde.

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: While calcium acetate alone gives actone.

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: 3. By the hydrolysis of alkylidene halides.

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: 4. By ozonolysis of olefins:

Aldehydes & Ketones Preparation: 5. When acetylene is passed into hot dilute sulphuric acid in presence of mercuric sulphate.

Aldehydes & Ketones Chemical Reaction: Most of the reactions of aldehydes and ketones are the reactions of the carbonyl group C = O. The activity of this group arises from the displacement of electrons towards the more electronegative oxygen atom which imparts a positive charge on the carbon atom as follows:

Aldehydes & Ketones Chemical Reaction: It was found that the reactivity of the carbonyl group depends on the nature of the alkyl groups attached to it. the smaller the group, the more reactive is the carbonyl group. Thus, the order of reactivity is:

Carboxylic Acids (Fatty acids)

Carboxylic Acids (Fatty acids) The functional group in this series is the carboxylic group – COOH which result from the combination of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. The carboxylic group is univalent so it is a terminal group.

Carboxylic Acids (Fatty acids) Acids are classified into mono, di-, and poly- carboxylic acids, according to whether they contain one, two, or more carboxylic groups in the molecule.

Carboxylic Acids (Fatty acids) Mono carboxylic acids: These contain one carboxylic group they are mono basic, there general formula CnH2n+1.COOH
