Aldehydes and Ketones
 Aldehydes and ketones are characterized by the the
carbonyl functional group (C=O)
 The compounds occur widely in nature as
intermediates in metabolism and biosynthesis
 They are also common as chemicals, as solvents,
monomers, adhesives, agrichemicals and
pharmaceuticals

19.1 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones
 Aldehydes are named by replacing the terminal -e of
the corresponding alkane name with –al
 The parent chain must contain the CHO group

The CHO carbon is numbered as C1
 If the CHO group is attached to a ring, use the
suffix See Table 19.1 for common names
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
3
Naming Ketones
 Replace the terminal -e of the alkane name with –one
 Parent chain is the longest one that contains the
ketone group

Numbering begins at the end nearer the carbonyl
carbon

5
Ketones and Aldehydes as Substituents
 The R–C=O as a substituent is an acyl group is used
with the suffix -yl from the root of the carboxylic acid

CH3CO: acetyl; CHO: formyl; C6H5CO: benzoyl
 The prefix oxo- is used if other functional groups are
present and the doubly bonded oxygen is labeled as a
substituent on a parent chain

19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
16
19.5 Relative Reactivity of Aldehydes
and Ketones
 Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones
in nucleophilic addition reactions
 The transition state for addition is less crowded and
lower in energy for an aldehyde (a) than for a ketone
(b)
 Aldehydes have one large substituent bonded to the
C=O: ketones have two
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
17
Electrophilicity of Aldehydes and
Ketones
 Aldehyde C=O is more polarized than ketone C=O
 As in carbocations, more alkyl groups stabilize +
character
 Ketone has more alkyl groups, stabilizing the C=O
carbon inductively
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
18
Reactivity of Aromatic Aldehydes
 Less reactive in nucleophilic addition reactions than
aliphatic aldehydes
 Electron-donating resonance effect of aromatic ring
makes C=O less reactive electrophilic than the
carbonyl group of an aliphatic aldehyde

19.6 Nucleophilic Addition of H2O:
Hydration
 Aldehydes and ketones react with water to yield 1,1-
diols (geminal (gem) diols)
 Hyrdation is reversible: a gem diol can eliminate
water
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003

21
Base-Catalyzed Addition of Water
 Addition of water is catalyzed by
both acid and base
 The base-catalyzed hydration
nucleophile is the hydroxide ion,
which is a much stronger
nucleophile than water
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
22
Acid-Catalyzed Addition of Water
 Protonation of C=O makes it
more electrophilic

19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
23
Addition of H-Y to C=O
 Reaction of C=O with H-Y, where Y is
electronegative, gives an addition product (“adduct”)

to yield cyanohydrins, RCH(OH)CN
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
25
Mechanism of Formation of
Cyanohydrins
 Addition of HCN is reversible and base-catalyzed,
generating nucleophilic cyanide ion, CN
 Addition of CN to C=O yields a tetrahedral
intermediate, which is then protonated
 Equilibrium favors adduct
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
26
Uses of Cyanohydrins
 The nitrile group (CN) can be reduced with LiAlH4
to yield a primary amine (RCH2NH2)
 Can be hydrolyzed by hot acid to yield a carboxylic
acid

19.8 Nucleophilic Addition of Grignard Reagents
and Hydride Reagents: Alcohol Formation
 Treatment of aldehydes or ketones with Grignard
reagents yields an alcohol

Nucleophilic addition of the equivalent of a carbon
anion, or carbanion. A carbon–magnesium bond is
strongly polarized, so a Grignard reagent reacts for all
practical purposes as R :  MgX +.
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
28
Mechanism of Addition of Grignard
Reagents
 Complexation of C=O by Mg2+, Nucleophilic addition
of R : , protonation by dilute acid yields the neutral
alcohol
 Grignard additions are irreversible because a
carbanion is not a leaving group
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
29
Hydride Addition
 Convert C=O to CH-OH
 LiAlH4 and NaBH4 react as donors of hydride ion
 Protonation after addition yields the alcohol
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
30
19.9 Nucleophilic Addition of Amines: Imine
and Enamine Formation
RNH2 adds to C=O to form imines, R2C=NR (after loss
of HOH)
R2NH yields enamines, R2NCR=CR2 (after loss of
HOH)
(ene + amine = unsaturated amine)
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
31
Mechanism of Formation of Imines
 Primary amine adds to C=O
 Proton is lost from N and adds to O to yield a neutral
amino alcohol (carbinolamine)
 Protonation of OH converts into water as the leaving
group
 Result is iminium ion, which loses proton
 Acid is required for loss of OH – too much acid blocks
RNH2
Note that overall reaction is substitution of RN for O
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
32
Imine Derivatives
 Addition of amines with an atom containing a lone
pair of electrons on the adjacent atom occurs very
readily, giving useful, stable imines
 For example, hydroxylamine forms oximes and 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazine readily forms 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazones

These are usually solids and help in characterizing
liquid ketones or aldehydes by melting points
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003

Enamine Formation
 After addition of R2NH, proton is lost from adjacent
carbon

19.11 Nucleophilic Addition of
Alcohols: Acetal Formation
 Two equivalents of ROH in the presence of an acid
catalyst add to C=O to yield acetals, R2C(OR)2
 These can be called ketals if derived from a ketone
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
36
Formation of Acetals
 Alcohols are weak nucleophiles but acid promotes
addition forming the conjugate acid of C=O
 Addition yields a hydroxy ether, called a hemiacetal
(reversible); further reaction can occur
 Protonation of the OH and loss of water leads to an
oxonium ion, R2C=OR+ to which a second alcohol
adds to form the acetal
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
37
Uses of Acetals
 Acetals can serve as protecting groups for aldehydes
and ketones
 It is convenient to use a diol, to form a cyclic acetal
(the reaction goes even more readily)

19.12 Nucleophilic Addition of Phosphorus
Ylides: The Wittig Reaction
 The sequence converts C=O is to C=C
 A phosphorus ylide adds to an aldehyde or ketone to
yield a dipolar intermediate called a betaine
 The intermediate spontaneously decomposes
through a four-membered ring to yield alkene and
triphenylphosphine oxide, (Ph)3P=O
 Formation of the ylide is shown below
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
39
A Note on the Word “Betaines”
 The term “betaines” is an extension from a specific substance (betaine)
that has permanent + and – charges (as in a zwitterion) that cannot be
neutralized by proton transfers (as in normal amino acids). Webster's
Revised Unabridged Dictionary lists: Betaine \Be"ta*ine\, n. [From beta,
generic name of the beet.] (Chem.) A nitrogenous base, {C5H11NO2},
produced artificially, and also occurring naturally in beet-root molasses
and its residues. The listed pronunciation indicates it has the exact
same emphasis as “cocaine”.
 Cocaine \Co"ca*ine\, n. (Chem.) A powerful alkaloid, {C17H21NO4},
obtained from the leaves of coca
 So – if you say “co-ca-een” (as this dictionary suggests) then you would
also say “bee-ta-een”. If you sat “co-cayn” then say “beet-ayn”.
 Whatever you say, the “beta” in “betaine” refers to beets and not a letter
in the Greek alphabet. There have been a lot of wagers on this over the
years.

Uses of the Wittig Reaction
 Can be used for monosubstituted, disubstituted, and
trisubstituted alkenes but not tetrasubstituted alkenes
The reaction yields a pure alkene of known structure
 For comparison, addition of CH3MgBr to
cyclohexanone and dehydration with, yields a mixture
of two alkenes

19.13 The Cannizzaro Reaction:
Biological Reductions
 The adduct of an aldehyde and OH can transfer
hydride ion to another aldehyde C=O resulting in a
simultaneous oxidation and reduction
(disproportionation)
Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter
19, 6th edition, (c) 2003
43
The Biological Analogue of the
Canizzaro Reaction
 Enzymes catalyze the reduction of aldehydes and ketones using
NADH as the source of the equivalent of H The transfer resembles that in the Cannizzaro reaction but the
carbonyl of the acceptor is polarized by an acid from the
enzyme, lowering the barrier
Enzymes are chiral
and the reactions are
stereospecific. The
stereochemistry
depends on the
particular enzyme
involved.

19.14 Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition to ,bUnsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones
 A nucleophile
can add to the
C=C double

addition, or 1,4
addition)
 The initial
product is a
resonancestabilized enolate
ion, which is then
protonated

Organocopper Reactions
 Reaction of an , b-unsaturated ketone with a lithium
diorganocopper reagent
 Diorganocopper (Gilman) reagents from by reaction
of 1 equivalent of cuprous iodide and 2 equivalents of
organolithium
 1, 2, 3 alkyl, aryl and alkenyl groups react but not
alkynyl groups

19.15 Biological Nucleophilic
Addition Reactions
 Example: Many enzyme reactions involve pyridoxal phosphate
(PLP), a derivative of vitamin B6, as a co-catalyst
 PLP is an aldehyde that readily forms imines from amino groups
of substrates, such as amino acids
 The imine undergoes a proton shift that leads to the net
conversion of the amino group of the substrate into a carbonyl
group

Enantioselective Synthesis
 When a chiral product is formed achiral reagents, we get both
enantiomers in equal amounts - the transition states are mirror
images and are equal in energy
 However, if the reaction is subject to catalysis, a chiral catalyst
can create a lower energy pathway for one enantiomer - called
an enantionselective synthesis
 Reaction of benzaldehyde with diethylzinc with a chiral titaniumcontaining catalyst, gives 97% of the S product and only 3% of
the R
