Study Notes
The Carbonyl Group
- A carbonyl group is a double bond between an sp2 hybridized carbon and an sp2 hybridized oxygen.
- This bond is composed of a sigma bond and a pi bond.
- The carbonyl group is a polar functional group due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen.
Hybridisation and Electronegativity
- The carbonyl group's carbon and oxygen atoms are sp2 hybridized.
Synthesis of Alcohols
- Alcohols can be synthesized through the hydration of alkenes.
Oxidation of Alcohols
- Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes, which can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids.
- Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.
- Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized to a carbonyl compound.
Aldehydes
- The aldehyde functional group consists of a carbonyl center with a hydrogen and a hydrocarbon group attached.
- Aldehydes are important in organic chemistry and in the world around us.
Ketones
- The ketone functional group consists of a carbonyl center with two hydrocarbon groups attached.
- Ketones are important in organic chemistry and in the world around us.
