Naturally occuring aldehydes and Ketones
The carbonyl group
Reactions of the carbonyl group
Remember: Generation of a chiral center
A. Hydration and Hemiacetal Formation• Water adds rapidly to the carbonyl function of aldehydes and ketones. In most
cases the resulting hydrate (a geminal-diol) is unstable relative to the reactants and cannot be isolated.
• Exceptions to this rule exist, • one being formaldehyde (a gas in its pure monomeric state). • Thus, a solution of formaldehyde in water (formalin) is almost exclusively the
hydrate, or polymers of the hydrate. • Another is chloral hydrate

Addition of Alcohols

Addition of hydrogen cyanide to aldehydes and ketones
Reducing Agents
The reduction of an aldehyde
You get exactly the same organic product whether you use lithium tetrahydridoaluminate or sodium tetrahydridoborate.
For example, with ethanal you get ethanol:
The reduction of a ketone
• Again the product is the same whichever of the two reducing agents you use.
• For example, with propanone you get propan-2-ol:• Reduction of a ketone leads to a secondary alcohol.

The Cannizzaro reaction, named after its discoverer Stanislao Cannizzaro, is a chemical reaction that involves the base-induced disproportionation of an aldehyde.[1][2] Cannizzaro first accomplished this transformation in 1853, when he obtained benzyl alcohol and potassium benzoate from the treatment of benzaldehyde with potash (potassium carbonate). More typically, the reaction would be conducted with sodium or potassium hydroxide:
Mechanism of the Cannizzaro Reaction
Crossed Cannizzaro:
Formaldehyde is the most easily oxidized aldehyde. When mixed with another aldehyde that doesn’t have any alpha-hydrogens and conc. NaOH, all of the formaldehyde is oxidized and all of the other aldehyde is reduced.

ADDITION-ELIMINATION REACTIONS OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
with hydroxylamineThe product is an "oxime" - for example, ethanal oxime.
Formation of Imines and Related Compounds
The reaction of aldehydes and ketones with ammonia or 1º-amines forms imine derivatives, also known as
Schiff bases, (compounds having a C=N function).
Wittig Reaction
Keto-Enol Tautomerism• Keto-enol tautomerism refers to a chemical equilibrium between a
keto form (a ketone or an aldehyde) and an enol. The enol and keto forms are said to be tautomers of each other. The interconversion of the two forms involves the movement of a proton and the shifting of bonding electrons; hence, the isomerism qualifies as tautomerism.
• A compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) is normally in rapid equilibrium with an enol tautomer, which contains a pair of doubly bonded carbon atoms adjacent to a hydroxyl (−OH) group, C=C-OH. The keto form predominates at equilibrium for most ketones. Nonetheless, the enol form is important for some reactions. Furthermore, the deprotonated intermediate in the interconversion of the two forms, referred to as an enolate anion, is important in
carbonyl chemistry, in large part because it is a strong nucleophile.
Acidity of α-Hydrogen
• Examples of -Hydrogen exchange
The Aldol Condensation
The name aldol is derived from "aldehyde" and "alcohol". An aldol is a β-hydroxycarbonyl compound.
