Introduction
• Compounds containing carbon – oxygen double bond ( >C=O) as functional group, are
known as aldehydes and ketones.
• They have the general formula CnH2nO.
• The functional group ( >C=O) is called oxo or carbonyl group; so aldehydes and ketones
are called carbonyl compounds.
• The carbon atom is called carbonyl carbon while oxygen is called carbonyl oxygen.

NOMENCLATURE
• Aldehydes and ketones can be named in following two systems:
1. Common System
2. IUPAC System
• FOR ALDEHYDES
• In common system, aldehydes are named by replacing “–ic acid” from the
common name of corresponding carboxylic acid with “aldehyde”.
• The substituent attached to the carbon chain is indicated by Greek letters α-,
β-, γ-, δ- and so on.
• The carbon which is directly bonded to –CHO group is called α- carbon.

Intermolecular H-bond
• Higher members are insoluble in water due to increase in number of carbon atoms
(hydrophobic part). They are soluble in organic solvents like ether and alcohol.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
• Boiling point: Aldehydes and ketones have higher boiling point than corresponding alkanes
having comparable mass. This is due the presence of strong dipole-dipole interaction
between the >C=O dipoles. However, they cannot form hydrogen bond among themselves. So
their boiling point is lower than those of alcohols and carboxylic acids.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
• Structure and nature of carbonyl group
δ+ δ-
1200 C=O
In carbonyl group, the carbonyl carbon is doubly bonded to carbon containing one sigma
and one pi bond. Both the carbonyl carbon and oxygen are sp2 hybridised. The bond angle
between each angle is 1200 and it has trigonal planar geometry.
The oxygen atom being more electronegative in nature, attracts the bonded pair of
electron with carbon, more towards itself. As a result, the carbon-oxygen bond in carbonyl
group gets polarised. The carbon atom acquires slightly positive charge whereas oxygen
acquires slightly negative charge. Hence, the partially positively charged carbon is easily
attacked by nucleophile.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
• Therefore, the typical reaction of aldehydes and ketones is nucleophilic addition reaction.
• The fundamental reason of reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards nucleophile is the
ability of oxygen to carry negative charge.
• Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic addition reaction. This can be
explained as follows:
Inductive effect: Ketones contain two electron releasing alkyl groups ( only one in aldehydes). So,
in ketones, the positive charge in carbonyl carbon is more reduced which makes it less susceptible
for attack by nucleophile.
R
R δ +
δ - δ+ δ-
C=O C=O
H R

Steric effect: The effect due to size is more prominent in ketones than in aldehydes. This is
because ketones contain two alkyl groups with large size. They create more crowding around
carbonyl carbon and make it difficult for nucleophile to attack.
Distinction of aldehydes and ketones
(from other functional groups)
2,4-DNP test:
Aldehydes and ketones (carbonyl compounds) can be distinguished from other compounds by
using 2,4-DNP reagent. With 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, aldehydes and ketones produce
yellow-orange or orange-red ppt. of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones. The hydrazones obtained have sharp
melting point and are crystalline in nature.

Distinction between aldehydes and ketones
• Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes reduce Tollen’s reagent.
• Ketones do not reduce Tollen’s reagent because they lack oxidisable
hydrogen atom. Hence, this reaction can be used to distinguish aldehydes
from ketones.

ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION
REACTION
• Aromatic aldehydes and ketones give meta substituted products on electrophilic substitution
reaction.
• The carbonyl group deactivates the benzene ring and creates partial positive charge at ortho
and para position.
• This renders ortho and para position less reactive towards the incoming electrophile.
• Hence, electrophilic substitution reaction occurs in aromatic aldehydes and ketones less
readily and at meta position.
