Document Summary

Aldehydes the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a hydrogen and to an alkyl (or an aryl) group. Ketone the carbonyl carbon is bonded to 2 alkyl (or aryl) groups. The systematic (iupac) name of an aldehyde is obtained by replacing the final e on the name of the parent hydrocarbon with al. ex: 1-carbon aldehyde is called methanal. The position of the carbonyl carbon does not have to be designated because it is always at the end of the parent hydrocarbon and therefore always has the 1-position. The carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon is the -carbon. If the aldehyde group is attached to a ring, the aldehyde is named by adding carbaldehyde to the name of the cyclic compound. If a compound has 2 functional groups, the one with the lower priority is indicated by a prefix and the one with the higher priority by a suffix (unless one of the functional groups is an alkene).
