CARBONYL COMPOUNDS
Carbonyl compounds have a general formula Cn H2nO and contain a >C=O group which is present in
The common names of ketones are derived by naming two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to the carbonyl
group. The locations of substituents are indicated by Greek letters, α α′, β β′
IUPAC Naming
When the aldehyde group is attached to a ring, the suffix carbaldehyde is added after the full name of the
cycloalkane
PRACTICE QUESTIONS-A

1. Oxidation of alcohols
If acidified K2 Cr2 O7 or KMnO4 is used then aldehyde further oxidizes to give acid.
PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1 Name the reagents used in the following reactions:
a. Oxidation of a primary alcohol to carboxylic acid.
b. Oxidation of a primary alcohol to aldehyde.
c. Butan-2-ol to butan-2-one

Eg: Cu at 573 K is used for dehydrogenation. Write the isomers of C4H9-OH and treat the isomer with Cu at 573 K
3. From Hydrocarbons
4. Hydration of Alkynes
5. It is the addition of water in the presence of a heavy metal ion. Acetylene on hydration gives aldehyde while any
higher alkyne gives ketone
6. Ozonolysis: Ozonolysis of alkenes involves the addition of ozone molecule to alkene to form ozonide, and then
cleavage of the ozonide by Zn-H2O
