Carbonyl Compounds
  1. Aldehydes
    1. Prep.
      1. Primary alcohol + ox. agent --> aldehyde + water
        1. Ethanol + [O] -> ethanal
        2. Products should be distilled as they form
          1. Oxidation under reflux gives carboxylic acid
            1. Ethanal + [O] -> ethanoic acid
        3. Reduction:
          1. NaBH4 or LiAlH4
            1. Al + red. agent --> primary alcohol
              1. Ethanal + 2[H] -> ethanol
              2. Can be thought of as nucleophilicaddition
              3. Nucleophilic addition:
                1. HCN: Sn1 mechanism (formation of carbocation)
                2. Tests:
                  1. 2,4- DNPH
                    1. Positive, pulpy orange ppt
                      1. -hydrazine to -hydrazone
                      2. Felhing's:
                        1. From blue to brick red on warming
                          1. Cu(2+) to Cu(+) ions
                          2. Positive
                          3. Tollens':
                            1. Positive
                              1. Silver mirror formed on warming
                                1. Carboxylate ion formed as organic product
                          4. Ketones
                            1. Prep.
                              1. Secondary alcohol + ox. agent --> ketone + water
                              2. Reduction:
                                1. Ketone + 2[H] -> secondary alcohol
                                  1. Propanone + 2[H] -> propan-2-ol
                                2. Nucleophilic addition:
                                  1. Sn1 addition of HCN
                                  2. Tests:
                                    1. 2,4- DNPH
                                      1. Positive, pulpy orange ppt
                                        1. -hydrazine to -hydrazone
                                        2. Tollens':
                                          1. Negative
                                            1. No change
                                            2. Fehling's
                                              1. Negative
                                                1. No change
