What to Focus On

  • Aldehydes: suffix '-al', carbonyl at terminal carbon
  • Ketones: suffix '-one', carbonyl within chain
  • Ring-attached aldehydes: named as 'carbaldehyde'
  • Oxidation of 1° alcohols → aldehydes; 2° alcohols → ketones
  • Ozonolysis of alkenes → carbonyl compounds
  • Hydration of alkynes: Markovnikov → ketone; anti-Markovnikov → aldehyde
  • Carbonyl carbon: sp² hybridized, planar structure
  • Polar C=O bond: δ⁺ on C, δ⁻ on O
  • Higher boiling points due to dipole-dipole forces

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Aldehydes and ketones have similar reactivity because both contain the carbonyl group.

Tollen's test can be used to distinguish between any aldehyde and ketone, including aromatic ones.

All compounds with α-hydrogen give iodoform test.

Memory Tips

IUPAC naming of aldehydes: alkanals

IUPAC naming of ketones: alkanones

Friedel-Crafts Acylation for aromatic ketones

Tollen's Test for aldehydes
