• The C-atom is in SP2 hybridized state. Here this c-atom forming 3 sigma bonds
and one pi-bond.
• The pi-bond is generated due to overlap of p-orbital of C-atom with overlap of p-
orbital of O-atom.
• Since it is an SP2 hybridization
• the c-atom and other three bonding atoms lie in same plane.
• Bond angle between three bonds is 120°

• The carbon-oxygen bond is polar - oxygen is more electronegative than carbon,
so electron density is higher on the oxygen side of the bond and lower on the
carbon side.
• So this forms two points for reaction of carbonyl compounds one C- and O-atom
• Becoz of polarity C-atom is prone to nucleophilic additions attack
• Positive charge (usually a proton hydrogen) attacks the O-atom.

Factors affecting reactivity of Carbonyl compounds towards Nucleophilic Reagents
Carbonyl functional groups characteristic reactions are nucleophililc addition
reactions. Here C-atom in Carbonyl functional groups acts as an electrophile.
Incoming nucleophile is added over structure of carbonyl functional group and
becomes part of it.
Two major factors affecting reactivity are
1. Electronic Factors
2. Steric Factors

• Any factor which decreases the electrophilicity of carbonyl c-atom decreases
their reactivity toward nucleophilic addition reaction (it is achieved by electron
donating substitution)
• Carbonyl compounds aldehydes and Ketones both posses alkyl group which is
an electron donating group and such group decreases the electrophilicity of
carbonyl c-atom thus reactivity of carbonyl group

Compare the substitution of carbonyl functional group in aldehydes and ketones,
Aldehyde which contain only one alkyl group where ketones contains two alkyl
groups. Thus Carbonyl C-atom in Aldehydes is more electrophilic and hence
reactive toward nucleophilic addition reaction compared to ketones

• The carbonyl group is trigonal and in transition state it starts acquiring
tetrahedral configuration in the reactions Thus the attached groups are brought
closer together in transition state during nucleophilic addition reaction
• Thus larger the alkyl substituent greater would be resistance to accommodate
them in the transition state of reaction
• Alkyl group attached to carbonyl carbon releases electrons (+I effect i.e.
inductive effect) and thereby destabilize the transition state by intensifying the
negative charge developing on carbonyl oxygen

• It is defined as complete transfer of pi-electrons either in double bond or triple
bond to one of the bonding atom in presence of attacking reagent
• Since in this effect there is complete transfer of pi-electrons it shows
development of complete positive and negative charge
• This effect is temporary effect and requires presence of attacking agent, effect
vanishes as soon as the reagent is removed
• On the basis of location of adding agent and shifting of pi-electrons there are
two types of electromeric effect
• +E Effect
• -E Effect

2) Oxidation of MethylBenzenes Etard Reaction
The reaction begins with an interaction of allylic hydrogen with chromyl chloride,
forming a precipitate called the Etard complex.
This Etard complex is then decomposed with the help of a reducing environment to
prevent its oxidation into a carboxylic acid.
This reducing environment is generally provided by a saturated solution of aqueous
sodium sulphite.
Carbon tetrachloride is the most commonly used solvent for this method but carbon
disulfide and chloroform can also be used as solvents.

Acid chlorides can be converted to aldehydes using lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum
hydride (LiAlH(Ot-Bu)3).
The hydride source (LiAlH(Ot-Bu)3) is a weaker reducing agent than lithium aluminum
hydride.
At Initial conditions acid chlorides are highly activated they still react with the
hydride source; however, Later the formed aldehyde will react slowly, which allows
for its isolation.

• This reaction is shown by compounds lacking α-H-atom
• It is self oxidation-reduction system
• In this reaction two molecules of same aldehyde are reacted in presence of conc-
KOH / NaOH together to produce carboxylic acid, primary alcohol.
• It involves following steps
• 1) Nucleophilic addition of (Hydroxyl) OH- group in first aldehyde molecule
• 2) Intermolecular Hydride Transfer to second aldehyde molecule
• 3) Addition of proton in second aldehyde molecule

Cannizzaro Reaction – self oxidizing reducing system
Meachnism
Step 1: nucleophilic addition of (Hydroxyl) OH- group in first aldehyde molecule
Step 2: Intermolecular Hydride Transfer to second aldehyde molecule
Step 3: Proton addition in second aldehyde molecule
One molecule is oxidized (addition of O-atom)
and one molecule is reduced (Addition of H2
across the double bond)

Crossed Cannizzaro Reaction
• This reaction is shown by compounds lacking α-H-atom
• It is self oxidation-reduction system
• In this reaction two different molecules aldehyde are reacted in presence of conc-
KOH / NaOH together to produce mixture of carboxylic acid, primary alcohol.
• It involves following steps
• 1) Nucleophilic addition of (Hydroxyl) OH- group in first aldehyde molecule
• 2) Intermolecular Hydride Transfer to second aldehyde molecule
• 3) Addition o f proton in second aldehyde molecule

Aldol Condensation reaction
• This reaction is shown by compounds having α-H-atom
• In this reaction two different molecules aldehyde/ ketones are reacted together
in presence of dilute acid or base forming Aldol (Aldehyde + alcohol) as product. It
involves following steps
• 1) Removal of α-proton from carbonyl compound by the strong base and
formation of carbanion
• 2) carbanion reacts with other carbonyl compound molecule to yield anionic
intermediate
• 3) Anionic intermediate abstracts the proton from water molecule forming
aldol product
