    Study Notes

    Molecular Formula and Unsaturation

    • Compound (A) has a high degree of unsaturation but does not decolourise bromine water or Baeyer's reagent, indicating the presence of unsaturation due to an aromatic ring.
    • Compound (A) is phenyl methyl ketone (acetophenone) based on its molecular formula.

    Reactions due to α-Hydrogen Acidity

    • Aldehydes and ketones undergo reactions due to the acidic nature of α-hydrogen.
    • The acidity of α-hydrogen atoms of carbonyl compounds is due to the strong electron withdrawing effect of the carbonyl group and resonance stabilisation of the conjugate base.

    Aldol Condensation

    • Aldehydes and ketones having at least one α-hydrogen undergo aldol condensation in the presence of dilute alkali as catalyst to form β-hydroxy aldehydes (aldol) or β-hydroxy ketones (ketol).
    • The aldol and ketol readily lose water to give α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

    Identifying Compounds that Undergo Aldol Condensation and Cannizzaro Reaction

    • Methanal and benzaldehyde undergo Cannizzaro reaction but not aldol condensation.
    • 2-Methylpentanal, benzophenone, cyclohexanone, and 2,2-dimethylbutanal undergo aldol condensation but not Cannizzaro reaction.
    • 1-Phenylpropanone and phenylacetaldehyde undergo both aldol condensation and Cannizzaro reaction.

    Converting Ethanal to Other Compounds

    • Ethanal can be converted to butane-1,3-diol through aldol condensation.
    • Ethanal can be converted to but-2-enal through aldol condensation followed by dehydration.
    • Ethanal can be converted to but-2-enoic acid through aldol condensation followed by oxidation.

    Aldol Condensation Products from Propanal and Butanal

    • Four possible aldol condensation products can be formed from propanal and butanal, with each aldehyde acting as both nucleophile and electrophile.

    Identifying Compounds

    • An organic compound with the molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollens' reagent, and undergoes Cannizzaro reaction, and on vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, indicating it is phenylacetaldehyde.

    Derivatives of Aldehydes and Ketones

    • Different derivatives of aldehydes and ketones include cyanohydrin, acetal, semicarbazone, aldol, hemiacetal, oxime, ketal, imine, and 2,4-DNP-derivative.

    Naming and Drawing Structures of Compounds

    • The IUPAC names of various ketones and aldehydes can be determined using the IUPAC system of nomenclature.
    • The structures of various derivatives, such as 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones, oximes, ketals, and hemiacetals, can be drawn.
