Document Summary
Ketones (rcor: has two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to the carbonyl group , placing the carbon-oxygen group in the middle of the molecule. Aldehyde (-rcho: has one alkyl group and one hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl terminal group, nomenclature: named with suffix - one , nomenclature: uses suffix -al . An aldehyde can be obtained from the oxidation of a primary alcohol and a ketone can be obtain from a secondary alcohol. The reactions are usually performed with pcc, potassium permanganate, sodium or potassium dichromate, or chromium trioxide. Double bonds can be oxidatively cleaved with ozone to yield aldehydes and/or ketones. Ketones can also be synthesized by the cleavage of disubstituted alkenes with potassium permanganate. Produces ketone of the form r-co-ar from benzene and an acyl halide in the presence of a lewis acid such as alcl3. Aldehydes can be oxidized with a number of different reagents, such as.
