Aldehyde Ketone and Carboxylic acid Short notes
Aldehyde Ketone and Carboxylic acid Short notes Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids (Chapter 12, NCERT Class 12 Chemistry) This chapter covers three important functional groups of organic compounds: aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids. It delves into their structure, preparation, properties, and reactions. 1. Structure and Nomenclature: Aldehydes contain a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydrogen atom attached to it (R-CHO). Ketones have a carbonyl group with two carbon atoms attached to it (R-CO-R'). Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH), forming a carboxyl group (R-COOH). The chapter covers IUPAC nomenclature for these functional groups. 2. Preparation Methods: Aldehydes: Oxidation of primary alcohols, reduction of acyl chlorides, dehydrogenation of primary alcohols. Ketones: Oxidation of secondary alcohols, Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. Carboxylic Acids: Oxidation of primary or secondary alcohols, hydrolysis of esters or...
