Reduction of carbonyl Reduction of carbonyl compoundscompounds
IntroductionIntroduction
-Reduction is defined in chemistry as loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen or gain of electrons
-Carbonyl group is consisting of a carbon (C) and an oxygen (O) atom connected by a double
bond .
IntroductionIntroduction
The difference between the electronegativities of carbon and oxygen is large enough to make the C=O bond moderately polar.

22 \ \Reduction of carboxylic Reduction of carboxylic acidsacids
Most reductions of carboxylic acids lead to the formation of primary alcohols.
These reductions are normally carried out using a strong reducing agent, such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4).
Examples:

33 \ \Reduction of estersReduction of esters
A pair of alcohols ( with at least one being 1ry ) results from the reduction of an ester.
They can be reduced by LiAlH4, NaBH4

Reduction of Reduction of benzaldehydebenzaldehydeProcedure:
1 -dissolve 13.5g of KOH in 13ml of H2O then add it in ice bath.
2-add the solution in glass bottle and add 15ml of benzaldehyde, close the bottle and shake will, then leave it for 24h.
3-after 24h, add 50ml of H2O and shake until the solution dissolve .

4 -transfer the solution to separating funnel, wash the remain with 15ml of ether and add it to the solution.
5-shake the solution in the separating funnle to separate benzyl alcohol, collect the ether layer, and repeat the process twice more (each with 12ml ether).
)keep the aqueous layer(

6-pass the collected solution (ether layer) in to ordinary funnel lined with filter paper and saturated sodium sulphate powder.
7 -add 5ml of 10% sodium carbonate and separate it , then wash it with 5ml H2O.
8-leave to dry, then collect the powder and calculate the % of
benzyl alcohol .

9 -to the aqueous layer add 40ml conc HCl , 40ml of H2O and 50g of ice.
10-filter the benzoic acid by vacum filtration.
11-wight the powder and calculate the % of benzoic acid .
