1
New cards

carbonyl

  • adds polarity HC’s → only an H-bond acceptor

  • carbonyl middle of chain → ketone | on end → aldehyde

2
New cards

ketone

  • end of parent chain drop “e”, replace to -one, otherwise use -oxo if other functional groups have higher priority (eg. 3-oxobutanal)

  • primary alcohol oxidized to secondary alc which becomes a ketone

3
New cards

aldehyde

  • end of parent chain drop “e”, replace to -al, otherwise use -oxo if other functional groups have higher priority (eg. 3-oxobutanal)

  • aldehyde > ketone

  • primary alcohol is aldehyde after primary is oxidized

4
New cards

carboxyl properties

  • H-bonding (OH) → increases melting/boiling points and miscibility in water

  • H in the OH can be partially donated, giving HC acid properties

5
New cards

carboxyl reactions

R-COOH made by oxidizing an aldehyde ONLY (NOT KETONE)
