Draw and name the seven aldehydes and ketones with the formula C5H10O . Which are chiral?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The seven aldehydes and ketones with C5H10Oformula are,

The only chiral compound is 2-methylbutanal.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Chiral compounds 

Chiral compounds are those in which carbon atoms contain four different groups and have no plane of symmetry.They are non-superimposable and are absent in ketone containing carbon because the carbon issp2 .

02

Aldehydes and ketones with the formula C5H10O

The four aldehyde compounds with C5H10Oformula are pentanal, 2-Methylbutanal, 3-Methylbutanal and 2,2-Dimethylpropanal.

Aldehyde compounds with C5H10O

The three ketone compounds with formula C5H10Oare 2-Pentanone, 3-Pentanone and 3-Methyl-2-butanone.

Ketone compounds with C5H10O

Only 2-Methylbutanal is a chiral compound among the seven compounds because the second carbon has four different groups attached.
