Aldehyde - Chemistry

An aldehyde is either a functional group consisting of a terminal carbonyl group or a compound containing a terminal carbonyl group. (Where -R represents the carbon chain.) Aldehyde - Structure. The aldehyde functional group is a carbon atom bonded to a carbonyl group and a hydrogen atom. Aldehyde - α carbon & α hydrogen. An α (alpha) carbon is a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group. An α hydrogen is a hydrogen atom bonded to the α carbon. The pKa of an α ...

Aldehyde - Preparation. There are three notable methods for preparing aldehydes: Reacting a primary alcohol with an oxidizing agent, Reacting an alkene (if there is a vinylic hydrogen) with ozone will cause the C=C bond to break yielding an aldehyde upon workup, in a process called ozonolysis. Reacting an ester with DIBAL-H can cause reduction, yielding an aldehyde. Reduction of an acid chloride ...

Aldehydes are named by IUPAC nomenclature by changing the suffix -e of the parent alkane to -al. Aliphatic aldehydes are named as derivatives of their longest alkyl chain. Thus, HCHO is named as a derivative of methane, and CH3CH2CH2CHO is named as a derivative of butane. The suffix -al replaces the -e of the alkane name. Thus, HCHO is named methanal, more commonly known as formaldehyde, and CH3CH2 ...
