IUPAC
The IUPAC names of aldehyde are formed by replacing the –e of the
name of the longest carbon chains the aldehyde group with –al. Because
the aldehyde group ,like the carboxyl group ,must always be at the end of
the chian .
CH3 CH3
CH3CHO CH3 CH CHO Cl CH2 CH CH2 CHO
Ethanal 2-Methyl propanal 4-Chloro-3-methyl butanal
The common names of ketones are formed by replacing the names of the
groups attached to the carbonyl group as prefixes to the word ketone .
The names are written as separate words , for example .
O O
CH3 CH2 C CH3 CH3 CH2 C CH2 CH3
Ethyl methyl ketone Diethyl ketone
Ethyl vinyl ketone
The IUPAC names of ketones are derived from the name of the longest
carbon chain that contains the carbonyl group by replacing the –e with the
suffixe one

Test for aldehyde
Most of the reactions of aldehydes and ketones are very
similar , but their ability to be oxidized differs greatly . This
ease of oxidation is the basis of several specific tests for
aldehydes .
One of these is the # Tollens, test # , which consists of
adding the Tollens, reagent , an alkaline solution of
di(ammine) silver(I) ion ,Ag(NH3)2+ , to the aldehyde . The
aldehyde is oxidized to the carboxylate ion , and the silver ion
is reduced to silver metal :
- -
2 Ag(NH3)2+ + RCHO + 3 OH RCO2 + 2 Ag + 4NH4 + 2 H2O
The silver metal coats the glass surface and forms a silver
mirror , this reaction is commonly the silver mirror test for
aldehyde .
