Aldehydes & Ketones mind map
Simplest aldehyde - formaldehyde
- Most reactive aldehyde - little steric hindrance
- Hydrogen better withdrawing group than alkyl group
- Therefore aldehydes have greater partial positive charge
- Hydrogen better withdrawing group than alkyl group
- Most reactive aldehyde - little steric hindrance
Simplest Ketone = propanone
Aldehyde general formula: RCHO or R(C=O)H
Ketone general formula:R(C=O)R
Ketones and aldehydes = polar
- C=O - Oxygen more electronegative than carbon - dipoles occur
