2023年1月28日 · Naming Aldehydes and Ketones in the Same Molecule. As with many molecules with two or more functional groups, one is given priority while the other is named as a substituent. Because aldehydes have a higher priority than ketones, molecules which contain both functional groups are named as aldehydes and the ketone is named as an "oxo ...

If at least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the compound is an aldehyde. If neither is hydrogen, the compound is a ketone. The IUPAC system of nomenclature assigns a characteristic suffix -al to aldehydes. For example, H 2 C=O is methan al, more commonly called formaldehyde.

2019年6月19日 · Oxo is the substituent name for the $\ce{=O}$ group of an aldehyde or a ketone if that group is found on the longest continuous carbon chain that contains a higher priority group. e.g., $\ce{OHC-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO2H =}$ 6-oxohexanoic acid. If the aldehyde carbon is not part of the longest continuous chain, then it becomes a formyl substituent.

If one of the substituents is hydrogen then the compound is called aldehyde and if none of them is hydrogen then it is a ketone. According to the IUPAC system of nomenclature -al is attached as a suffix to parent alkane for the naming of aldehydes. For example, H 2 C=O is named as per the IUPAC system as methanal, commonly known as formaldehyde.

When it’s necessary to refer to the R–C═O R–C═O group as a substituent, the name acyl (a-sil) group is used and the name ending -yl is attached. Thus, –COCH 3 is an acetyl group, –CHO is a formyl group, –COAr is an aroyl group, and –COC 6 H 5 is a benzoyl group.

In all cases the aldehyde function has a higher status than either an alcohol, alkene or ketone and provides the nomenclature suffix. The other functional groups are treated as substituents. Because ketones are just below aldehydes in nomenclature suffix priority, the "oxo" substituent terminology is seldom needed.

2024年12月14日 · If substituents are also present, the numbering starts from the aldehyde and goes in the direction that minimizes the numbering of the substituents: Naming Ketones. Ketones have lower priority than aldehydes. However, if it happens to be that the ketone is the highest priority in the molecule, then the suffix changes to “one”.

To indicate the position of a substituent on an aldehyde, the carbonyl carbon atom is always considered to be C1; it is unnecessary to designate this group by number. To indicate the position of a substituent on a ketone, number the chain in the manner that gives the carbonyl carbon atom the lowest possible number.

In this case we have a carbonyl and we also have a substituent (a methyl group). Since our carbonyl is a functional group, we are going to make sure we number the molecule in such a way as to give it the lowest possible number. Which means, in this case we’ll number our molecule from right to left.

2024年3月14日 · Aldehydes derive their common names from their corresponding carboxylic acids. The ‘–ic acid’ ending of carboxylic is replaced with -aldehyde. These names also reflect the Latin or Greek term for the original source of the acid or aldehyde. The common names of substituted aldehydes are often designated with Greek letters.
