IUPAC Nomenclature of Aldehydes
• Choose the longest continuous carbon chain that contains the carbonyl carbon
• Number from the end of the chain closest to the carbonyl carbon (this will automatically be carbon #1!)
• Ending is -al• Note: The carbonyl carbon is not identified by number
in the final name.• Do the aldehydes section of Organic Nomenclature --

Also: “Iso” names:
• Whenever there is a -CH(CH3)2 group, an alternative common name is an “iso” name.
• The “iso” name includes all of the carbon atoms in the molecule.
• The “iso” name isn’t used if there are other substituents.

Bourgeonal
Bourgeonal is thought to be a chemoattractant emitted by the egg and detected by an odor receptor on the sperm cell. This guides the sperm to the egg

WWU Chemistry
Structure of the Carbonyl Group
C O
•Hybridization of the carbonyl carbon is sp2.•Geometry of the carbonyl carbon is trigonal planar•Attack by nucleophiles will occur with equal ease from either the top or the bottom of the carbonyl group.•Hybridization of the oxygen is “nominally” sp2.
WWU Chemistry
ProchiralThe carbonyl carbon is prochiral. That is, the carbonyl carbon is not the center of chirality, but it becomes chiral as the reaction proceeds.

The positive charge character on carbon makes this an excellent site for attack by Lewis bases (nucleophiles).
WWU Chemistry
Once we have the intermediate, what happens to it?
Case 1: The Addition Product is Stable.
R C R
OH
Nu
The reaction stops here. This happens most often when the nucleophilic atom is carbon, oxygen, or sulfur.
WWU Chemistry
Case 2: Addition-Elimination
R C R

C

R R+ O
HH
The addition product is unstable with respect to loss of a molecule of water. This is observed most often when the nucleophilic atom is nitrogen or phosphorus.
WWU Chemistry
Case 3: Loss of Leaving Group

+ X
This process is observed when X is a potential leaving group. In this case we have nucleophilic acyl substitution (see Chapter 19).
WWU Chemistry
What are the stereochemical requirements?
• The hybridization of carbon in the carbonyl group is sp2
• The geometry around carbon is trigonal-planar.• Nucleophile can attack the carbonyl group equally
easily from top or bottom (see model)• BUT: aldehydes react faster than ketones in
nucleophilic addition!
WWU Chemistry
Why?• Aldehydes have a hydrogen attached to the carbonyl group,
whereas ketones have an alkyl group.– Alkyl groups are much more bulky than hydrogens -- hence
ketones should show some steric hindrance.
• Alkyl groups have a small electron-releasing inductive effect.– This should make the carbonyl carbon less favorable by attack by
nucleophile.
• The answer is that there is a combination of steric hindrance and inductive effects that makes ketones react slower than aldehydes.

Nitriles can be hydrolyzed to form carboxylic acids.
This affords us with an important method of synthesizing -hydroxy-carboxylic acids -- important intermediates in biochemical processes.
