Explain with the help of an example the reaction exhibited by carbonyl compounds having at least one α-hydrogen.

Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The carbon atom of this group has two remaining bonds that may be occupied by hydrogen or alkyl or aryl substituents. If at least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the compound is an aldehyde. If neither is hydrogen, the compound is a ketone.

Carbonyl compounds having at least one α-hydrogen undergo nucleophilic addition as shown below:

  • CH₃HC=O + H₂0 + H+ ----> CH₃CH(OH)₂

What are carbonyl compounds?

Carbonyl compounds have a carbon atom bonded to oxygen by means of a double bond.

The two other bonding positions are occupied by two R groups or a hydrogen atom and an R group as in aldehydes.

Carbonyl compounds having at least one α-hydrogen undergo nucleophilic addition.

For example, nucleophilic addition of water to ethanal:

CH₃HC=O + H₂0 + H+ ----> CH₃CH(OH)₂
