A functional group that has a carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom by a double bond.
|
carbonyl group
|
|
Any compound that contains a carbonyl group (C=O).
|
carbonyl compound
|
|
A compound that has a carbonyl group bonded to a least one hydrogen.
|
aldehyde
|
|
A compound that has a carbonyl group bonded to two carbons.
|
ketone
|
|
What is the geometry and bond angles of all substituents on a carbonyl atom ?
|
trigonal planar; 120˚
|
|
What are the two major classes of carbonyl compounds?
|
-Aldehydes and Ketones: which have similar properties because their carbonyl groups are bonded to atoms that are not electronegative - (hydrogen and carbon).
-Carboxylic acids and Amides (the carboxyl family): whose carbonyl groups ARE bonded to atoms that are electronegative, (typically oxygen or nitrogen atoms). |
|
Addition of an alcohol or other compound to the carbon double bond to give a carbon-oxygen single bond.
|
Nucleophilic addition reaction, aldehydes and ketones.
|
|
A compound with both an alcohol-like hydroxyl group and an ether like -OC group bonded to the same carbon.
|
Hemiacetal
|
|
A compound that has two ether-like -OC groups bonded to the same carbon atom.
|
Acetal
|
|
A reaction in which a bond or bonds are broken and the H and OH of water add to the atoms of the broken bond or bonds.
