Introduction
 Have you ever sensed an odor that
suddenly brought back a long-forgotten
memory?
 If so, you have experienced a
phenomenon unique to our sense of
smell —— it is a primitive sense and
the only one for which the related
sensory nerves are part of the brain
itself.

 These nerves respond to both the
shape and the presence of polar
functional groups in volatile molecules,
and prominent among the organic
compounds with the most potent and
varied odors are those possessing the
C=O double bond, the carbonyl group.
 Two classes of carbonyl compounds:
Aldehydes
Ketones
Introduction

R R’
An ketone

 These compounds exist throughout
nature, contributing to the flavors and
aromas of many foods and assisting in
the biological functions of a number of
enzymes.
 In addition, industry makes considerable
use of aldehydes and ketones, both as
reagents and as solvents in synthesis.
 The carbonyl group is considered to be
the most important function in organic
chemistry.

 The C=O contains a short, strong, and
very polar bond
 O is more electronegative than C, this
cause an appreciable polarization of the
C=O bond.

 Polarization alters the physical constants
of aldehydes and ketones
 The polarization of the C=O
1. Makes the B.P. higher than
2. The smaller carbonyl compounds are
completely miscible with water. As no. of
C > 6, rather insoluble.
Hydrophobic hydrocarbon part increase

oxygen analog of the C=C bond.

 Used for the characterisation of aldehydes and
ketones
 The products are mostly crystalline solids and
their M.P. are sufficiently different from
aldehydes and ketones, and enable the
carbonyl compound to be recognized.

7.3.2 Reactions of the alkyl group
1. Aldehydes and ketones which possess
at least one H atom on the C atom
adjacent to the C=O group undergo
condensation reactions in the presence
of a base.

 The products in all aldol condensations
has several common structural
characteristics:
1. A larger molecule contains a newly formed C-C
bond.
2. The C-C bond occurs between the α C of one
aldehyde molecule and the carbonyl C of the
second aldehyde molecule.

3. Two functional group: C=O and -OH.
4. The - OH is attached to the β C.
 Aldols are easily dehydrated either by
heating or by treatment with dilute acid.

3-Hydroxbutanal
(aldol)
2-Butenal

 The facile loss of water is due to the fact
that the resulting product contains a C=C
bond that is conjugated with the C=O
group ( an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde).
CH3－CH=CH－CH=O
β α

 Those aldehydes which don’t contain at
least one H atom on the C next to the C=O
group don’t undergo condensation
reactions with alkali.
 But instead with concentrated alkali,
undergo Cannizzaro reaction in which one
half of the quantity of the aldehyde is
oxidized and the other half is reduced.
2C6H5CH=O + NaOH C6H5CO2
-Na+ + C6H5CH2OH
Sodium benzoate
Phenylmethanol

 The carbonyl compound contains the
group CH3－CO (I.e. Ethanal or a methyl
ketone) reaction in the presence of alkali
leads first to the replacement of all three
H atoms in methyl group by X atoms.
CH3－CH2－CO－CH3 + 3Cl2 + 3NaOH
CH3－CH2－CO－CCl3 + 3H2O + 3NaCl

CH3－CH2－CO－CCl3 + NaOH
CH3－CH2－CO2
-Na+ +
CHCl3
 Similarly, Br2 gives tribromomethane
CHBr3, and I2 gives CHI3.
 Iodoform test
 CHI3 is a yellow crystalline solid which is
easily recognized, this reaction can be
used as a test to identify either ethanal or
a methyl kentone is exist.

 Since alcohols which contain the group
－CH(OH)－CH3 (ethanol and 2-propanol)
are oxidized by iodine to give the group
－CO－CH3, these also give a positive
iodoform test.
－CH(OH)－CH3 －CO－CH3

NaOH

7.3.3 Oxidation reactions
 Oxidation of aldehydes
 Oxidation of ketones
The difference between an aldehyde and a
ketone is that the - CH=O group is readily
oxidized to - COOH. While ketones are
difficult to oxidized in solution.

7.3.3.1 Oxidation of aldehydes
 Reactions for distinguish -al and -one
1. Tollens’ test
RCH=O+Ag(NH3)2
+(OH)- Ag↓+ RCOO- +Others
RCOR + Tollens’ reagent no reaction
R－C－H R－C－OH
O O
Na2Cr2O7
H2SO4
Tollens’ reagent

2. Fehling’s test
Which is made by mixing a solution of
CuSO4 with an alkaline solution of a salt
of tartaric acid.
RCHO + 2Cu2+ + NaOH + H2O
RCOONa + Cu2O↓+ 4H+
Only apply to saturated aldehydes

3. Schiff’s test
Fuchsin is a pink dye which forms a
colorless complex when treated with SO2.
The addition of an aldehyde to this
colorless solution restores the pink color
of the dye.

 Ketones are oxidized by strong oxidizing
agents (KMnO4 or hot HNO3).
 The bond between the C=O group and
the adjacent C is broken
CH3－CH2－CO－CH2－CH3
CH3－CH2－COOH + CH3－COOH
The acids formed contain fewer C atoms
than the ketone.
7.3.3.2 Oxidation of ketones
HNO3

7.4 Uses
 Methanal
1. In the manufacture of thermosetting
plastics , in particular Bakelite.
2. In solution it is used as a disinfectant
and to preserve animal specimens.

 Ethanal
 In the manufacture of ethanoic acid.
 Propanone
1. In the manufacture of Perspex
2. In the manufacture of ethenone, used to
make ethanoic anhydride
3. As a solvent for plastics, varnishes and
greases.
