Preparation methods of aldehydes and ketones

Question image

Understand the Problem

The question is from a chemistry document discussing the preparation methods of aldehydes and ketones. It likely seeks information on the reactions and processes mentioned in the text.

Answer

Aldehydes: Rosenmund reduction, Stephen reaction, Gattermann-Koch. Ketones: Acyl chlorides with Grignard.

Aldehydes can be prepared from acyl chlorides via Rosenmund reduction, from nitriles by the Stephen reaction or DIBAL-H reduction, and from hydrocarbons by oxidation or Gattermann-Koch reaction. Ketones can be prepared from acyl chlorides using Grignard reagents.

Answer for screen readers

Aldehydes can be prepared from acyl chlorides via Rosenmund reduction, from nitriles by the Stephen reaction or DIBAL-H reduction, and from hydrocarbons by oxidation or Gattermann-Koch reaction. Ketones can be prepared from acyl chlorides using Grignard reagents.

More Information

The Rosenmund reduction converts acyl chlorides directly to aldehydes using Pd/BaSO4. The Stephen reaction involves reducing nitriles to aldehydes. The Gattermann-Koch reaction is used for synthesizing aromatic aldehydes like benzaldehyde.

Tips

Ensure correct catalysts and conditions for each reaction to avoid side products.
