Read Chapter 23.4
Review Functional Groups Aldehyde Ketone Carboxylic Acid (CA) Carboxylic Acid Salt
Review Functional Groups Hemiacetal Hemiketal Acetal Ketal
Review Oxidation (Review) Diagnostic Tests [O] Aldehyde Carboxylic Acid (CA) [O] Ketone No Reaction (NR)
What is oxidized? What is reduced? Tollens Reactions Silver Mirror Test Positive (+) for aldehydes Negative (-) for ketones [O] Aldehyde + 2 Ag+ (aq) + NH3 (aq) Carboxylic Acid Salt + 2 Ag (s) Visible Change: Clear to Silver Mirror [O] Ketone + 2 Ag+ (aq) + NH3 (aq) NR
What is oxidized? What is reduced? Positive (+) for aldehydes Negative (-) for ketones Fehlings/Benidicts [O] Aldehyde + 2 Cu+2 (aq) + NaOH (aq) Carboxylic Acid Salt + 2 Cu2O (s) + H2O Visible Change: blue to brick red ppt [O] Ketone + 2 Cu+2 (aq) + NaOH (aq) NR
Examples: Oxidation Diagnostic Tests
Addition Reactions [H2/Ni] [H2/Ni] Reduction gain bonds to H Hydrogenation Aldehyde Primary Alcohol Ketone Secondary Alcohol [OH-] Ald/Ket + HCN Cyanohydrin [H+] Aldehyde + Alcohol Hemiacetal [H+] Things to add: H2 HCN R-OH Ketone + Alcohol Hemiketal
Examples: [H2/Ni] [H2/Ni] Reduction gain bonds to H Hydrogenation Aldehyde Primary Alcohol Ketone Secondary Alcohol
Examples: [OH-] Ald/Ket + HCN Cyanohydrin
Examples: [H+] Aldehyde + Alcohol Hemiacetal [H+] Ketone + Alcohol Hemiketal
Dehydration Reactions [dry HCl] Acetal + H2O Play Find the Water again! Hemiacetal + Alcohol [dry HCl] Ketal + H2O Hemiketal + Alcohol
Yucky Mechanism Aldol Condensation o Self-Addition o Condensation (Adding 2 molecules together) o -hydrogen = most reactive o Product = Aldol = -hydroxy ald/ket Aldehyde + Aldehyde [dilute NaOH] Aldehyde + Ketone Aldol ( -hydroxy ald/ket) Multiple products if .. o Unsymmetrical aldehyde or ketone o Aldehyde + Ketone Ketone + Ketone
Examples: [dilute NaOH] Aldehyde + Aldehyde Aldol ( -hydroxyl ald/ket)
[dilute NaOH] Ketone + Ketone Examples: Aldol ( -hydroxyl ald/ket)
Examples: [dilute NaOH] Aldehyde + Ketone Aldol ( -hydroxyl ald/ket)
