Chapter 8 - Aldehydes and Ketones
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| aldehyde | COH; carbaldehyde, formyl |
| Ketone | COC; one or oxo |
| oxidation to form aldehyde | primary alcohol with Jones reagent or anything Cr/PCC |
| oxidation to form ketone | secondary alcohol with chromium agents or PCC |
| Friedel-Crafts Acylation | R-CO-Ar |
| tautomers | differ only in the placement of a proton; keto vs enols |
| enols | ene +ol; double bond + alcohols |
| enolization | interconverting keto and enol tautomers |
| Adding water to aldehyde or ketone | creates a gem diol |
| adding alcohol to aldehyde or ketone | creates acetals and ketals |
| Cyanohydrin | when HCN is added to aldehyde or ketone |
| Ammonia added to aldehyde or ketone | creates a N double bonded to a C and water comes off |
| aldol | aldehyde + alcohol; when heated, forms alkene and water |
| Witting Rxn | rxn that leads to CC double bond by converting aldehydes and ketones into alkenes; ylide |
| Reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols | use LAH or NaBH4 |
| Wolff-Kishner Reduction | reducing aldehydes and ketones to alkanes; first H2NNH2 is added and then its heated to form alkane |
| Clemmensen Reduction | when aldehyde or ketone is heated with Zinc and HCl to form alkane |
