Introduction to Carbonyl Compound

Ø Carbonyl compounds are polar molecules due to different electronegativity of atoms bonded
together through the double bond
Ø Since it’s a polar molecule, the attraction force that exist between carbonyl compounds are Van der
waals forces of attraction which is Dipole-dipole interaction and London force.
Ø Carbonyl compounds of aldehyde & ketone tend to undergoes Nucleophilic Addition reaction
on C atom (due to poor electron density region, δ+) 11
Physical Properties of Carbonyl Compound
Ø For comparative molecular mass, carbonyl compounds have higher boiling point than haloalkanes
and hydrocarbons of (alkanes & alkenes) but lower boiling point than alcohols.
Ø This is due to the fact that alcohol is a polar molecule in which it can form Hydrogen bond
attraction force between Itself. As we know, hydrogen bond has stronger attraction force than dipole –
dipole interaction and London force. Hence, boiling point of alcohol is the highest compared to the other
compound.
Ø Carbonyl compound is a polar molecule but it can only form Van Der Waals Forces (VDWF) of
attraction of (Dipole-Dipole interaction & London force) between itself.
Ø Carbonyl has higher boiling point than Haloalkanes due to Strength of VDW forces of attraction of
carbonyl is stronger than VDWF of attraction between haloalkanes (Oxygen atom is more
electronegative than Cl or Br atom) 12

Ø From carbonyl structure, we know that the oxygen and carbon that bonded together via
double bond has different electronegativity.
Ø In C=O, the electron density is drawn more towards O atom (due to high
electronegativity), in which making the C atom becomes poor in electron density. This is
what we call as electrophilic site on C atom of Carbonyl 30
Nucleophilic Addition Reaction

into O atom due to 𝛿 − region of O atom

choice of reducing agent :
