  • Which suffix is used for aldehydes?

    -al

  • How are aldehydes called in which the CHO group is directly bound to an ring?

    carbaldehydes

  • How is a R-C=O group called?

    acyl group

  • How can aldehydes be synthesized?

    oxidation of primary alcohols

    oxidative cleavage of alkenes with vinylic nitrogen using ozone

    certain carboxylic acid derivates can be partially reduced to aldehydes

  • How can ketones be synthesized?

    oxidation of secondary alcohols

    oxidative cleavage of alkenes with disubstituted unsaturated carbon atom using ozone

    Friedel-Crafts acylation of an aromatic ring with acid chloride in the presence of AlCl3

    hydration of terminal alkynes in presence of Hg2+ catalyst

  • Why can aldehydes be oxidated, but ketones not?  

    aldehydes have a -CHO proton that can be abstracted

  • Which katalyst is mainly used for aldehyde-oxidation to yield carboxylic acids?

    CrO3 in acidic medium

    if less stable compounds are used, Tollens' reagent ( Ag2O in aqueous ) is a more common choice

  • Which intermediates are formed during aldehyde oxidation?

    1,1-diols (or hydrates) with two OH groups at the C

  • How may ketones be oxidised?

    very slowly with KMnO4, where the C-C bond next to the carbonyl group is broken, yielding carboxylic acids

  • How does the nucleophilic addition of aldehydes or ketones take place?

    A nucleophil approaches the C

    Rehybridization of the carbonyl from sp2 to sp3 occurs

    An electron pair from the double bond adds to the O forming an alkoxide ion intermediate

    Protonation from H3O+ gives an alkohol plus water
