ALDEHYDES AND KETONES A STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO: 1.
Give the IUPAC name given the structure, and draw the structure given the name, of aldehydes and ketones. Also, draw the structure given any of the following common names: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone.
2.
Predict the relative physical properties (boiling point, solubility) of aldehydes, ketones, and previously studied compounds.
3.
Predict the products of reactions giving rise to aldehydes and ketones given the starting material and reaction conditions. Important reactions include: Oxidation of 1° and 2° alcohols Friedel-Crafts acylation Ozonolysis of alkenes Hydroboration of alkynes Acid-catalyzed hydration of alkynes
4.
Predict the products of the reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Important reactions include: Reactions with Grignard reagents, organolithium reagents, and hydrides (reducing agents such as LiAlH4 and NaBH4) Reactions with water and alcohols (to form hemiacetals, acetals, hemiketals, ketals) Reactions with derivatives of ammonia (to form oximes, semicarbazides, hydrazones, imines, and enamines) Reactions with thiols Reactions with ylides (Plus other reactions in the Wittig reaction sequence) Oxidation (H2CrO4, etc.) Wolff-Kishner reduction of ketones to alkanes Reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols
5.
