Back (Answer)

H3C-(C=O)-H

Front (Question)

What is Acetone?

Back (Answer)

H3C-(C=O)-CH3

Front (Question)

What is Acetophenone?

Back (Answer)

Ph-(C=O)-CH3

Front (Question)

What is Benzophenone?

Back (Answer)

Ph-(C=O)-Ph

Front (Question)

What is Benzaldehyde?

Back (Answer)

Ph-(C=O)-H

Front (Question)

What is an Alkanoyl Group? (also called an acyl group)

Back (Answer)

-(C=O)-R

Front (Question)

What are the two suffixes commonly used aldehyde nomenclature? (one short and one long)

Back (Answer)

-al (to replace an -e suffix) and (parent chain name)-aldehyde

Front (Question)

What is the suffix if a -CHO (aldehyde group) is attached to a ring?

Back (Answer)

-carbaldehyde

#10

Front (Question)

How are dialdehydes named?

Back (Answer)

omit location number (aldehydes are assumed to be on the ends of the compound) and change the ending to -dial

#11

Front (Question)

What is the suffix for ketones?

Back (Answer)

-one (to replace an -e suffix)

#12

Front (Question)

What is the structure for the common names of ketones?

Back (Answer)

alkyl alkyl ketone

#13

Front (Question)

How are diketones named?

Back (Answer)

both carbonyls require a location number and change the suffix to Dione if in.a ring, the -e suffix remains and is immediately before the Dione suffix

#14

Front (Question)

How are compounds containing both an aldehyde and a ketone named?

Back (Answer)

compound is named as an aldehyde and the ketone is named as an oxo substituent ketone needs location number, aldehyde does not

#15

Front (Question)

How are aldehydes and ketones named when there is an OH in the same compound?

Back (Answer)

the OH is a hydroxy substituent

#16

Front (Question)

How are cyanohydrins C(-OH)(≣N) produced?

Back (Answer)

Add NaCN to an aldehyde or a ketone. The =O is replaced with a -OH and -C(triple bond)N

#17

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of HCl, H2O, and heat to a cyanohydrin C(-OH)(≣N)?

Back (Answer)

Produces a carboxylic acid with a double bond on the more substituted side

#18

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of LiAlH4 and H2O to a cyanohydrin C(-OH)(≣N)?

Back (Answer)

Replaces -C(triple bond)N with -CNH2, two hydrogens. (adds four hydrogens total)

#19

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of R-PPh3 to an aldehyde or a ketone? Bonus: What is this reaction called?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with R Witting Reaction, The Addition of Ylides/Zwitter ions

#20

Front (Question)

What is the effect of adding a primary amine to an aldehyde or ketone? Bonus: What is the product called?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with =NR, Imine

#21

Front (Question)

What is the effect of adding a secondary amine to an aldehyde or ketone? Bonus: What is the product called?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with -NR2 and double bond on more substituted side, Enamine

#22

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of N2H4/Oh/heat to an aldehyde or ketone? Bonus: What is this reaction called?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with hydrogens, Wolff-Kishner Reduction

#23

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones? Bonus: What is the product called?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with two -OR, acetal Note: Also produces an intermediate of a hemiacetal, where one of the -OR groups is an -OH

#24

Front (Question)

What is the effect of the addition of dialcohols to aldehydes or ketones?

Back (Answer)

Replace =O with two single bonds to the ends of an ORO (one bond to each O, produces a cyclic compound)
