Reactions of aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes and Ketones undergo many reactions to give a wide variety of
useful derivatives. There are two general kinds of reactions that
aldehydes and ketones undergo:
1- Reaction at the carbonyl carbon (Nucleophilic addition reactions).
2-reaction at the α carbon.
A second general reaction of aldehydes and ketones involves reaction at
the α carbon. A C–H bond on the α carbon to a carbonyl group is more
acidic than many other C–H bonds, because reaction with base forms a
resonance-stabilized enolate anion.

1- Nucleophilic addition reaction.
Two general mechanisms are usually drawn for nucleophilic addition,
depending on the nucleophile (negatively charged versus neutral) and the
presence or absence of an acid catalyst. With negatively charged
nucleophiles, nucleophilic addition follows the two-step process first
(nucleophilic attack) followed by protonation.
Absence of an acid catalyzed nucleophilic addition
Step [1]: The nucleophile attacks the carbonyl group, cleaving the π bond
and moving an electron pair onto oxygen. This forms a sp3 hybridized
intermediate with a new C–Nu bond.
Step [2]: protonation of the negatively charged O atom by H2O forms the
addition product.
Acid-catalyzed nucleophilic addition
The general mechanism for this reaction consists of three steps (not two),
but the same product results because H and Nu- add across the carbonyl π
bond. In this mechanism protonation precedes nucleophilic attack.
Step [1] Protonation of the carbonyl group
In Step [2], the nucleophile attacks, and then deprotonation forms the
neutral addition product in Step [3].

Steps [2]–[3] Nucleophilic attack and deprotonation
a) Addition of Alcohols (Acetal Formation): Aldehydes and ketones react with two equivalents of alcohol to form
acetals. In an acetal, the carbonyl carbon from the aldehyde or ketone is
now singly bonded to two OR" (alkoxy) groups.
b) Nucleophilic Addition of H- (Reduction reaction)
Treatment of an aldehyde or ketone with either Sodium borohydride
(NaBH4) or Lithium hydride (LiAlH4) followed by protonation forms a 1°
or 2° alcohol.

c) Reduction of Ketones and Aldehydes
Clemmensen reduction: The Clemmensen reduction is most commonly used to
convert acylbenzenes (from Friedel-Crafts acylation) to alkylbenzenes,
but it also works with other ketones or aldehydes that are not sensitive to
acid. The carbonyl compound is heated with an excess of amalgamated
zinc (zinc treated with mercury; Zn (Hg), and concentrated hydrochloric
acid (HCl). The actual reduction occurs by a complex mechanism on the
surface of the zinc.

The Clemmensen reduction uses zinc and mercury in the presence of
strong acid.
Wolff– Kishner reduction: Compounds that cannot survive treatment with hot acid can be
deoxygenated using the Wolff–Kishner reduction. The ketone or
aldehyde is converted to its hydrazone, which is heated with Hydrazine
(NH2NH2), and strong base such as KOH. Ethylene glycol, diethylene
glycol, or another high-boiling solvent is used to facilitate the high
temperature (140-200°C) needed in the second step.

d) Nucleophilic Addition of CN–
Treatment of an aldehyde or ketone with NaCN and a strong acid such as
HCl adds the elements of HCN across the carbon–oxygen π bond,
forming a cyanohydrin.

e) Addition of Bisulfate.
Sodium bisulfate adds to most aldehydes and to many ketones (especially
methyl ketones and cycloketones) to form bisulfate addition products:

f) Addition of Organo Metallic reagents
The addition of Grignard reagents to aldehydes and ketones yields
alcohols. The organic group, transferred with a pair of electrons from
magnesium to carbonyl carbon, is a powerful nucleophile.

g) Addition of derivatives of Ammonia:-
Treatment of an aldehyde or ketone with a 1° amine affords an imine
(Schiff base). Nucleophilic attack of the 1° amine on the carbonyl
group forms an unstable carbinolamine, which loses water to form an
imine. The overall reaction results in replacement of C=O by C=NR.

Aldehydes are readily oxidized to yield carboxylic acids; but
ketones are generally inert toward oxidation.
The difference is a consequence of structure: aldehydes have a –
CHO proton that can be abstracted during oxidation, but ketones do
not.

Many oxidizing agents, including KMnO4 and hot HNO3, convert
aldehydes into carboxylic acid.
Tollen's reagent In the laboratory, oxidation of an aldehyde can be carried out using a
solution of silver oxide (Ag2O) in aqueous ammonia, the so-called
Tollen's reagent. Oxidation of aldehyde is accompanied by reduction of
silver ion to free silver (in the form of a mirror under the proper
conditions).

Methyl ketones:
Oxidation of ketones required breaking of C–C bond next to the
carbonyl group and takes place only under vigorous conditions, except
for methyl ketones which oxidized smoothly by mean of hypohalite
(NaOX) to form Haloform (Haloform reaction).
