ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
In aldehydes the functional group is –CHO while in ketones the functional group is C O. Therefore
both aldehydes are ketones are collectively called carbonyl compounds due to the presence of
common C O group in their functional groups. They can be represented by the general formula
CnH2nO. They are functional isomers. They are widely spread in plants and animals kingdom. They
are responsible for a fragrance and flavour of the naturally occuring compounds. Eg : Vanillin from
vanilla beans. Cinnamaldehyde from (Cinnamon)

Structure and Nomenclature
The carbonyl carbon is sp2 hybridised having trigonal planar structure and approximately 120° bond
angles.
C O C O
The carbon-oxygen double bond is polarised due to higher electronegativity of oxygen and as a result
of this, carbonyl carbon is an electrophile (Lewis acid) and oxygen is nucleophile (Lewis base). Hence
they have high dipole moments.
