4NOMENCLATURE
5IUPAC Nomenclature of Ketones
- Choose the longest continuous carbon chain that
contains the carbonyl carbon - Number from the end of the chain closest to the
carbonyl carbon - Ketone ending is -one
Do the ketones section of Organic Nomenclature
program!
6EXAMPLES
2-Pentanone
4-Ethyl-3-hexanone
73-Isopropylcyclopentanone or 3-(1-Methylethyl)cy
clopentanone
8Common, or Trivial, Names
KETONES
- Name each group attached to the carbonyl group as
an alkyl group - Combine into a name, according to the pattern
- alkyl alkyl ketone
- NOTE This is not all one word!
9Example of Common Names
Methyl propyl ketone
Diethyl ketone
10SPECIAL CASES
diphenyl ketone
dimethyl ketone
benzophenone
acetone
A common laboratory solvent and cleaning agent
methyl phenyl ketone
KNOW THESE
acetophenone
11IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
- Choose the longest continuous carbon chain that
contains the carbonyl carbon - Number from the end of the chain closest to the
carbonyl carbon (carbon 1!) - Aldehyde ending is -al
Do the aldehydes section of Organic
Nomenclature program.
12EXAMPLES

13Common Names of the Aldehydes
14SPECIAL CASES

benzaldehyde
KNOW THESE

15Forming Common Names of Aldehydes
USE OF GREEK LETTERS

w is always the end of the chain, no matter how
long
a-chlorocaproaldehyde
w-chlorocaproaldehyde
( a-chlorohexanal )
( w-chlorohexanal )

21NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION TO CO
MECHANISMS
IN ACID AND IN BASE
22Nucleophilic Addition to Carbonyl
Basic or Neutral Solution
an alkoxide ion
-
or on adding acid
Good nucleophiles and strong bases (usually
charged)
BASIC SOLUTION
23Nucleophilic Addition to Carbonyl
Acid Catalyzed
more reactive to addition than the un- protonated
precursor
()
Acid catalysis speeds the rate of addition of
weak nucleophiles and weak bases (usually
uncharged).
ACIDIC SOLUTION
stronger acid protonates the nucleophile
pH 5-6
24CYANOHYDRINS
25Addition of Cyanide
C N
Buffered to pH 6-8
a cyanohydrin
In acid solution there would be little CN-, and
HCN (g) would be a problem (poison).
A cyanohydrin
26CYANIDE ION BONDS TO HEMOGLOBIN
..
Cyanide bonds (irreversibly) to the site (Fe II)
where oxygen usually bonds.
CYANIDE IS IS A POISON
..
You die of suffocation - lack of oxygen.
HCN is a gas that you can easily breathe into
your lungs.
27 SYNTHESIS OF a-HYDROXYACIDS
28SYNTHESIS OF AN a-HYDROXYACID
NaCN
a cyanohydrin
pH 8
1) NaOH/H2O/D
acetophenone
2) H3O
Aldehydes also work unless they are
benzaldehydes, which give a different reaction
(benzoin condensation).
