31
Equilibria in Carbonyl-Addition Reactions
The equilibrium for a reversible addition depends strongly on the structure of the carbonyl compound 1. Addition is more favorable for aldehydes 2. Addition is more favorable if EN groups are near the C=O 3. Addition is less favorable when groups that donate electrons by resonance to the C=O are present 19.7 Reversible Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones

Relative Carbonyl Stability
19.7 Reversible Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
34
For example, alkyl groups stabilize carbocations more than hydrogens
Carbonyl Stability Any feature that stabilizes carbocations will impart greater stability to the carbonyl group For example, alkyl groups stabilize carbocations more than hydrogens Hence, alkyl groups will discourage addition reactions to the carbonyl group 19.7 Reversible Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
35
Resonance can also add stability to the carbonyl group
Carbonyl Stability Resonance can also add stability to the carbonyl group However, EN groups make the addition reaction more favorable 19.7 Reversible Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
36
Rates of Carbonyl-Addition Reactions
Relative rates can be predicted from equilibrium constants Compounds with the most favorable addition equilibria tends to react most rapidly General reactivity: formaldehyde > aldehydes > ketones 19.7 Reversible Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
