CARBONYL COMPOUNDS
1. Introduction
These have general formula CnH
2nO and contains >C = O group which is present in aldehyde and
ketone . Thus aldehydes and ketones are collectively called as carbonyl compounds which are
constituents of fabrics, flavourings plastics and drugs. These are also used as reagents and solvents.
Note : Aldehyde is always at terminal position while ketone is never at terminal position.
2. Structure of carbonyl compoundsIn carbonyl group both the carbon and oxygen atoms are in sp2 hybridised state i.e. both contain three sp2
hybrid orbitals. One of the sp2 hybrid orbital of one carbon atom overlaps with one of the sp2 hybrid orbital ofoxygen atom forming C–O -bond. Remaining two sp2 hybrid orbitals of C atom overlap with either sp3 orbitalof C-atoms (as in ketone) or one with sp3 orbital carbon and other with s orbital of hydrogen (as in aldehyde)forming 2 more -bonds. On other hand each of two sp2 hybrid orbitals of 'oxygen' atom contains a lone pairof electrons. Unhybrid orbitals present at carbon and oxygen atom forms -bond by sideway overlaping. Thestructrue can be represented as :
Thus C = O group contains one -bond and one -bond as :
3. Strucutre and bonding in aldehydes and ketonesThe carbonyl carbon atom is sp2 hybridized. The unhybridized p-orbital overlaps with a p-orbital of oxygen toform a pi bond. The double bond between carbon and oxygen is shorter, stronger, and polarized.

The double bond of the carbonyl group has a large dipole moment because oxygen is more electronegativethan carbon.

4. Comparision of C=O with C=C bond1. Both atoms in both the cases are in sp2 hybridised state.2. Both the cases contain one -bond and one -bond.The difference between C = O and C = C is because of O-atom in carbonyl group is more electronegativethan carbon as a result polarity is developed as
Thus double bond of carbonyl group has a large dipole moment. This polarity confirms that there is nucleophilicaddition reaction in carbonyl compound on other hand in alkene (C=C) there is electrophilic addition reaction.
5. General methods of preparation of Aldehyde and Ketones(I) Hydration of Alkyne :
It is addition of water in the presence of heavy metal ion. Acetylene on hydration gives aldehyde while anyhigher alkyne gives ketone.

Note : (i) During the cleavage of ozonide Zn is used to check further oxidation of aldehyde into acid.
(ii) By this method we can locate double bond in olefin or exact structrue of hydrocarbon can be determined
by knowing ozonolysis product i.e. by placing double bond at the place of two carbonyl oxygen atoms of two
carbonyl compounds.
(iii) Among the three molecules of carbonyl compounds
(a) If one molecule contains two carbonyl groups, then hydrocarbon will be alkadiene.
(b) If all the three molecules contain two carbonyl group then hydrocarbon will be cycloalkatriene.

6. Chemical Reactions of Carbonyl Compounds :Carbonyl compounds undergo nucleophilic addition reaction and reactivity order will be :
6.1 Nucleophilic Addition Reactions :Addition of a nuceophile and a proton across the (C = O) double bond. The reactivity of the carbonyl grouparises from the electronegativity of the oxygen atom and the resulting polarization of the carbon-oxygendouble bond. The electrophilic carbonyl carbon atom is sp2 hybridized and flat, leaving it relatively unhinderedand open to attack from either face of the double bond.

Ex.10 Why aldehyde are more reactive than ketones ?Ans. There are two factors which influence the reactivity of ketone and aldehyde.
(i) Inductive effect (ii) steric factor
(i) + I effect of alkyl group decrease the amount of charge on C+ (C+ – O–). in ketones.
(ii) Steric effect also causes the less reactivity of carbonyl group.
(i) Reaction with alcohol :
Carbonyl compounds react with alcohols in the presence of dry HCl gas to give acetal (if aldehyde) andketal if ketone via formation of unstable hemiacetal and hemiketal respectively.
Note : (i) Acetal is formed to protect aldehyde for a long time.(ii) Acetal has functional groups ether.(iii) Acetal formed can be decomposed to orignal aldehyde by dilute acid.(iv) On treating with ethyleneglycol we get cyclic acetal or ketal (1,3-dioxolans)
"manishkumarphysics.in" 9
CHEMISTRY
Mechanism :

(v) Acetal formation is found to be more favourable than ketal formation if both the carbonyl groups arepresent within the molecule.
(ii) Additon of HCN :It is base catalysed addition
B–
HB
Note : (i) Addition of HCN over aldehyde gives cyanohydrin.(ii) Cynohydrin on acid hydrolysis gives -hydroxy acid.(iii) Cyanohydrin on treating with NH
3(l) followed by acid hydrolysis gives -amino acid.
(iv) In case of ketone cyanohydrin formation is reversible due to bulky group of ketone which hinder theformation.
(iii) Addition of sodiumbisulphite (NaHSO3) :
This addition is used to isolate carbonyl compounds from the mixture as we get salt.
+ NaHSO3
(salt)
salt on acidification gives carbonyl compounds again.
OH2 OH– 2
(iv) Addition of water : Aldehyde or ketone reacts with water to form gem-diols. Water is a poor nucelophile andtherefore adds relatively slowly to the carbonyl group, but the rate of reaction can be increased by an acidcatalyst.
Mechanism:
"manishkumarphysics.in" 10
CHEMISTRY
6.2 Addition elimination reactions :Certain compounds related to ammonia add to the carbonyl group to form derivatives that are importantchiefly for the characterization and identification of aldehydes and Ketones, the product contain a carbon-nitrogen double bond resulting from elimination of a molecule of water from the initial addition products.

This reaction is carried out in slightly acidic media which will generate a nucleophilic centre for weak baseammonia derivatives.
On using strong acidic media lone pair of electrons present at N-atom of ammonia derivatives will acceptproton forming protonated ammonia derivatives which can not act as nucleophile for carbonyl carbon.

from -hydroxy aldehyde / ketone, water is eliminated on using either acidic or basic media as :
Now try to get carbonyl compounds from , -unsaturated carbonyl compounds as :keep 'H' at-position and –OH at -position of unsaturated carbonyl compound to get -hydroxy carbonylcompound.
Now break and carbon as shown below to get carbonyl compound.
These two carbonyl compounds can be obtained on ozonolysis of hydrocarbon if it is asked.
Ex.11 Which hydrocarbon on ozonolysis followed by heating with alkali gives 2-methylpent-2-en-1-alGo through above sequence as –
In given reaction both the carbonyl compounds are same hence reaction is intermolecular aldol-condensationand hydrocarbon will be hex-3-ene.
Cross-Aldol condensation :On using two types of carbonyl compounds both having-hydrogen atoms we get a mixture of four condensedproduct because two types of carbonyl compounds will give two type of carbanions which will be nucleophilefor it self and other molecule.On using formaldehyde and acetaldehyde during crossed aldol all the -hydrogen atom of acetaldehyde arereplaced one by one by hydroxymethyl group because of smaller size of formaldehyde to givetrihydroxymethylacetaldehyde which undergoes crossed cannizaro's reaction with formaldehyde to givetetrahydroxymethyl methane and formate ion as a final product.
