ALDEHYDES AND KETONES IN WEEK 1, A STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO: 1. Give the IUPAC name given the structure, and draw the structure given the name, of aldehydes and ketones. Also, draw the structure given any of the following common names: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone. 2. Predict the products of reactions giving rise to aldehydes and ketones, given the starting material and reaction conditions. Important reactions include: Oxidation of 1° and 2° alcohols Ozonolysis of alkenes Hydroboration of alkynes Acid-catalyzed hydration of alkynes 3. Predict the products of the reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Important reactions include: Reactions with hydrides (reducing agents such as LiAlH4 and NaBH4) Reactions with water and alcohols (to form hemiacetals, acetals) Reactions with derivatives of ammonia (to form oximes, semicarbazides, hydrazones, imines, and enamines) Reactions with thiols Oxidation Wolff-Kishner reduction of ketones to alkanes 4. Propose syntheses using the reactions of Objectives #2 and #3. 5. Propose mechanisms of reactions involving nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon. 6. Predict and interpret spectra. IN WEEK 2, A STUDENT SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO: 7. Perform the objectives detailed above for these additional reactions with an emphasis on C-C bond forming reactions in synthesis: Friedel-Crafts acylation Reactions with Grignard and organolithium reagents Reactions with ylides (Plus other reactions in the Wittig reaction sequence) To best prepare for this module, please work Chapter 20 Skill Builder problems in the textbook.
