The Carbonyl GroupThe Carbonyl Group In this and several following chapters we study
the physical and chemical properties of classes of compounds containing the carbonyl group, C=O• aldehydes and ketones (Chapter 16)• carboxylic acids (Chapter 17)• acid halides, acid anhydrides, esters, amides (Chapter
18)• enolate anions (Chapter 19)

The Carbonyl GroupThe Carbonyl Group The carbonyl group consists of • one sigma bond formed by the overlap of sp2 hybrid
orbitals, and • one pi bond formed by the overlap of parallel 2p
orbitals

StructureStructure• The functional group of an aldehyde is a carbonyl
group bonded to a H atom and a carbon atom • The functional group of a ketone is a carbonyl group
bonded to two carbon atoms

NomenclatureNomenclature IUPAC names:• the parent chain is the longest chain that contains the
functional group• for an aldehyde, change the suffix from -e-e to -al-al• for an unsaturated aldehyde, show the carbon-carbon
double bond by changing the infix from -an--an- to -en--en-; the location of the suffix determines the numbering pattern
• for a cyclic molecule in which -CHO is bonded to the ring, name the compound by adding the suffix -carbaldehydecarbaldehyde

Common NamesCommon Names• for an aldehyde, the common name is derived from
the common name of the corresponding carboxylic acid
• for a ketone, name the two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to the carbonyl carbon and add the word ketone

Physical PropertiesPhysical Properties Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon (3.5
vs 2.5) and, therefore, a C=O group is polar
• aldehydes and ketones are polar compounds and interact in the pure state by dipole-dipole interaction
• they have higher boiling points and are more soluble in water than nonpolar compounds of comparable molecular weight

Reaction ThemesReaction Themes A second common theme is reaction with a
proton or Lewis acid to form a resonance-stabilized cation
• protonation in this manner increases the electron deficiency of the carbonyl carbon and makes it more reactive toward nucleophiles

Add’n of C NucleophilesAdd’n of C Nucleophiles Addition of carbon nucleophiles is one of the
most important types of nucleophilic additions to a C=O group; a new carbon-carbon bond is formed in the process
We study addition of these carbon nucleophiles

Grignard ReagentsGrignard Reagents Given the difference in electronegativity between
carbon and magnesium (2.5 - 1.3), the C-Mg bond is polar covalent, with Cδ- and Mgδ+• in its reactions, a Grignard reagent behaves as a
carbanion
Carbanion:Carbanion: an anion in which carbon has an unshared pair of electrons and bears a negative charge• a carbanion is a good nucleophile and adds to the
carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones

-Halogenation-Halogenation Acid-catalyzed halogenation: • introduction of a second halogen is slower than the
first• introduction of the electronegative halogen on the -
carbon decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen toward protonation
Base-promoted -halogenation:• each successive halogenation is more rapid than the
previous one • the introduction of the electronegative halogen on the -carbon increases the acidity of the remaining -hydrogens and, thus, each successive -hydrogen is removed more rapidly than the previous one

Haloform ReactionHaloform Reaction In the presence of base, a methyl ketone reacts
with three equivalents of halogen to give a 1,1,1-trihaloketone, which then reacts with an additional mole of hydroxide ion to form a carboxylic salt and a trihalomethane
