4-1 Topic 4 Aldehydes and Ketones 16.1 4-2 Aldehydes and Ketones ' aldehyde ketone The polarized oxygen-carbon -bond renders aldehydes and ketones electrophilic: ' The electrophilicity of the oxygen-carbon -bond can be further increased by protonation of the carbonyl oxygen lone pair: CEM 2312 all 2017 Notes: C.J. ahrni
4-3 Electrophilicity Based on M Theory C C C Due to the higher electronegativity of oxygen compared to carbon, the LUM energy of a C= bond is lower compared to a non-polar C=C bond. This renders the C= bond electrophilic. 16.2 4-4 Nomenclature Aldehydes: methanal formaldehyde ethanal acetaldehyde propanal propionaldehdye alkane => alkanal Example: Ketones: butanone ethyl methyl ketone 2-pentanone methyl propyl ketone pent-4-en-2-one allyl methyl ketone ' alkane => #-alkanone alkyl alkyl ketone Example: CEM 2312 all 2017 Notes: C.J. ahrni
