© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 6 An aldehyde has a greater partial positive charge on its carbonyl carbon than does a ketone: The partial positive charge on the carbonyl carbon causes that carbon to be attacked by nucleophiles:

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 7 The carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde is more accessible to the nucleophile. Ketones have greater steric crowding in their transition states, so they have less stable transition states. Steric factors contribute to the reactivity of an aldehyde. Aldehydes Are More Reactive Than Ketones

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 8 The reactivity of carbonyl compounds is also related to the basicity of Y – :

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 39 The Wittig reaction is completely regioselective. This reaction is the best way to make a terminal alkene. Stable ylides form primarily E isomers, and unstabilized ylides form primarily Z isomers. Stable ylides have a group (C=O) that can share the carbanion’s negative charge. Example:

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 46

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 47 Nucleophiles that form unstable addition products form conjugated addition products, because the conjugate addition is not reversible. Nucleophiles that form stable addition products can form direct addition products or conjugate addition products. If the rate of direct addition is slowed down by steric hindrance, a Grignard reagent will form the conjugate addition product.
