Concept explainers

Aldehydes and Ketones

Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. They both differ in the placement of this carbonyl group in their structures.

Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.
Acetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol molecules. Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates. A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction. B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction. C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a more favorable entropy of reaction.

Why is it important that we are very careful in how much acid is added to neutralize the reaction? (Only pick one answer) If the solution becomes very acid it can be harmful to the skin Too much acid will increase vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Too much acid will decrease vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Excess acid will deprotonate the vanillyl alcohol and inhibit crystal formation
