1
New cards
Aldehydes & ketones have the carbonyl func group
C=O
2
New cards
The difference betw aldehydes & ketones is
the pos of the carbonyl (C=O) group
3
New cards
pos of carbonyl group in aldehydes
on an end carbon
4
New cards
aldehyde ending
\-al
5
New cards
pos of carbonyl group in ketones
on an inner carbon
6
New cards
ketone ending
\-one
7
New cards
Aldehydes are oxidised to carboxylic acids using
oxidising agents
8
New cards
Tollen’s reagent
used to distinguish betw aldehydes & ketones
9
New cards
Tollen’s reagent can be made first then
used to distinguish betw an aldehyde & ketone
10
New cards
To make Tollen’s reagent:
1) silver nitrate solid (colourless)

2) add few drops NaOH - pale brown ppt forms
11
New cards
After making Tollen’s reagent
3) few drops of dilute ammonia until ppt dissolves

4) add aldehyde/ketone to Tollen’s Reagent

5) place in hot water bath (don’t use flame bc a/k flammable)
12
New cards
Tollen’s results when added warm
aldehydes: Tollen’s reduced to silver which coats inside of flask
13
New cards
ketones
no silver ppt formed
14
New cards
used to distinguish betw aldehydes and ketones
Brady’s reagent/2,4-DNP/2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine
15
New cards
How to use 2,4-DNP
dissolved in conc sulfuric acid and methanol & added to subs under test
16
New cards
2,4-DNP results
If a carbonyl group exists then a bright orange ppt formed. It only reacts with C=O in aldehydes and ketones not carboxylic acids
17
New cards
the orange ppt is
a derivative of a carbonyl compound & diff carbonyl compounds prod diff derivatives
18
New cards
different derivatives of a carbonyl compound have different mp
so can be identified against a library of known mp
19
New cards
reducing agents such as NaBH4 (sodium borohydride/sodium tetrahydridobrate (III))
dissolved in methol & water can reduce a/k
20
New cards
\[H\]
reducing agent
21
New cards
potassium cyanide reacts with carbonyl compounds to produce
hydroxynitriles
22
New cards
potassium cyanide dissociates to form K+ and CN- ions in
acidic solution
23
New cards
hydrogen cyanide (HCN) can also be used instead of KCN however
no acid req
24
New cards
hydroxynitrile
molecule that contains OH & CN
25
New cards
Potassium cyanide risks
1) irritant v dangerous if ingested or inhaled

2) when KCN reacts w moisture it can form the toxic gas hydrogen cyanide
26
New cards
Reduce risks associated with potassium cyanide
1) wear gloves while handling

2) wear safety goggles at all times

3) wear lab coat to prevent clothing contamination

4) fume cupboard to prevent exposure to toxic fumes
