OCR A level Chemistry: Aromatic Compounds is apart of the Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis. All presentations come with worked examples, solutions and homeworks 26.1 Carbonyl Compounds 26.2 Identifying Aldehydes and Ketones 26.3 Carboxylic Acids 26.4 Carboxylic Acid Derivatives The carbonyl group Differentiating between aldehydes and ketones Naming aldehydes and ketones Oxidation of aldehydes Electronegativity and polar bonds Electrophiles, nucleophiles, and nucleophilic addition reactions Reducing carbonyl compounds with sodium tetrahydridoborate(III) (NaH4) Primary and secondary alcohols from carbonyl compounds Reacting carbonyl compounds with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) Reaction mechanisms for nucleophilic addition using (NaBH4) Reaction mechanisms for nucleophilic addition using (HCN) Testing for Carbonyl Groups Brady’s reagent - 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine - 2,4-DNP Distinguishing between Aldehydes and Ketones Tollen’s reagent - silver nitrate in aqueous ammonia The Carboxyl Group and polarity of bonds. Naming carboxylic acids Carboxylic acids as weak acids Reactions of carboxylic acids with: Metals Metal oxides Alkali Carbonates Changing solubility of carboxylic acids in water due to carbon chain length.
