1
New cards

Aldehydes

are terminal functional groups containing a carbonyl bended to at least one hydrogen

2
New cards

-al; oxo-; -carbaldehyde

aldehydes use the suffix ____ and the prefix ____. In rings, they are indicated by the suffix _____

3
New cards

Ketones

are internal functional groups containing a carbonyl bonded to two alkyl chains

4
New cards

-one; oxo-; keto-

ketones use the suffix ____ and the prefix ____ or ____

5
New cards

Carbonyl (C=O)

the reactivity of this is dictated by the polarity of the double bond. The carbon has a partial positive charge and is therefore electrophilic

6
New cards

Higher

carbonyl-containing compounds have _________ boiling points than equivalent alkanes because of dipole interactions

7
New cards

Alcohols

have higher boiling points than carbonyls because of hydrogen bonding

8
New cards

Aldehydes and Ketones

are commonly produced by oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, respectively

9
New cards

Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC)

weaker, anhydrous oxidizing agents like this must be used for synthesizing aldehydes, or the reaction will continue oxidizing to the level of the carboxylic acid

10
New cards

Ketones

various oxidizing agents can be used for these, such as dichromate, chromium trioxide, or PCC because these are the most oxidized functional group for secondary carbons

11
New cards

Pi

when a nucleophile attacks and forms a bond with a carbonyl carbon, electrons in this bond are pushed to the oxygen atom

12
New cards

No; Aldehydes and Ketones

if there is ______ good leaving group (________), the carbonyl will remain open and is protonated to form an alcohol

13
New cards

A; Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives

if there is _____ good leaving group (_________), the carbonyl will reform and kick off the leaving group

14
New cards

Hydration; Geminal Diol

in ________ reactions, water adds to a carbonyl, forming a ________

15
New cards

Hemiacetal

when one equivalent of alcohol reacts with an aldehyde via nucleophilic addition, this is formed

16
New cards

Hemiketal

when one equivalent of alcohol reacts with a ketone via nucleophilic addition, this is formed

17
New cards

Acetal

when another equivalent of alcohol reacts with a hemiacetal via nucleophilic substitution, this is formed

18
New cards

Ketal

when another equivalent of alcohol reacts with a hemiketal via nucleophilic substitution, this is formed

19
New cards

Nitrogen

this and its derivatives react with carbonyls to form imines, oximes, hydrazones, and semicarbazones

20
New cards

Enamines

imines can tautomerize to form this

21
New cards

Cyanohydrins

hydrogen cyanide reacts with carbonyls to form this

22
New cards

Carboxylic Aids

aldehydes can be oxidized to these using an oxidizing agent like KMnO4, CrO3, Ag2O, or H2O2

23
New cards

Hydride Reagents (LiAlH4, NaBH4)

aldehydes can be reduced to primary alcohols via these

24
New cards

Cannot; Secondary Alcohols

ketones ________ be further oxidized and can be reduced to _________ using the same hydride reagents (LiAlH4, NaBH4)
