Aldehydes and ketones undergo reversible addition reactions with alcohols. The product of addition of one mole of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone is referred to as a hemiacetal or hemiketal, respectively. Dehydration followed by addition of a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal or ketal. This second phase of the process can be catalyzed only by acids, since a necessary step is elimination of hydroxide (as water) from the tetrahedral intermediate. There is no low-energy mechanism for base assistance of this... 

Monosaccharides commonly form internal hemiacetals or hemiketals, in which the aldehyde or ketone group joins with a hydroxyl group of the same molecule, creating a cyclic structure this can be represented as a Haworth perspective formula. The carbon atom originally found in the aldehyde or ketone group (the anomeric carbon) can assume either of two configurations, a and /3, which are interconvertible by mutarotation. In the linear form, which is in equilibrium with the cyclized forms, the anomeric carbon is easily oxidized. 

When aldehydes and ketones are dissolved in alcohol without an acid catalyst being present, only the first part of the above mechanism occurs with one alcohol molecule adding to the carbonyl group. An equilibrium is set up between the carbonyl group and the hemiacetal or hemiketal, with the equilibrium favouring the carbonyl compound ... 

Like their hydrates, the hemiacetals of most ketones (sometimes called hemiketals) are even less stable than those of aldehydes. On the other hand, some hemiacetals of aldehydes bearing electron-withdrawing groups, and those of cyclopropanones, are stable, just like the hydrates of the same molecules. 

A novel one-pot Dess-Martin oxidation was developed for the construction of the y-hydroxy lactone moiety of the CP-molecules in the laboratory of K.C. Nicolaou. Bicyclic 1,4-diol was treated with 10 equivalents of DMP in dichloromethane for 16h to promote a tandem reaction first, the bridgehead secondary alcohol was selectively oxidized to the ketone, followed by a ring closure to afford the isolable hemiketal, which was further oxidized by DMP to give a keto aldehyde. Trace amounts of water terminated the cascade to give a stable diol, which was not further oxidized with DMP. Subsequent TEMPO oxidation furnished the desired y-hydroxy lactone. 

When this reaction is conducted on ketones, instead of aldehydes, the equivalent species to the hemiacetal and acetal are now called hemiketal and ketal respectively. However, when simple ketones are reacted with normal monofunctional alcohols, the reaction rarely goes to completion, unlike the situation with aldehydes where the reaction proceeds smoothly. Yet, when a 1,2-diol is reacted with a ketone, then the reaction goes to completion much more readily. Write the complete reaction sequence for the formation of the cyclic ketal starting from propanone and 1,2-ethandiol, under acidic conditions. Also, suggest why the product between one molecule of each reagent is favoured over the alternative product that would result from the reaction between two molecules of the diol and one of the ketone. 

The reaction results in an adduct with the enzyme (ETSM) with no ester C-OR bond present in the molecule to be cleaved. It is clear from Equation 3 that the hemiketal may only react by the release of the trifluoromethyl ketone by the enzyme through the transprotonation transition state, thereby acting as a reversible... 

Fructose is a ketose, or ketone sugar. Recall that the reaction between an alcohol and a ketone )delds a hemiketal. Thus the reaction between the C-2 keto group and the C-5 hydroxyl group in the fructose molecule produces an intramolecular hemiketal. Fructose forms a five-membered ring structure. 

An aldehyde or ketone can react with an alcohol in a 1 1 ratio to yield a hemiacetal or hemiketal, respectively, creating a new chiral center at the carbonyl carbon. Substitution of a second alcohol molecule produces an acetal or ketal. When the second alcohol is part of another sugar molecule, the bond produced is a glycosidic bond (p. 245). 

The actual structure of monosaccharides such as o-glucose is not what has been shown up to this point. We previously learned that aldehydes and ketones react reversibly with alcohols to form hemiacetals and hemiketals, respectively. (Refer back to Sec. 14.7 to review this reaction.) This reaction takes place intramolecularly with monosacchardes since both OH and C = O are present in the same molecule. The structures of aldoses and ketoses are cyclic hemiacetals and hemiketals, respectively. 

Aldehydes and ketones are prepared by the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, respectively. Aldehydes can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids, but ketones resist oxidation. Thus, aldehydes are oxidized by Tollens reagent (Ag" ) and Benedict s solution (Cu ), whereas ketones are not. A characteristic reaction of both aldehydes and ketones is the addition of hydrogen to the carbonyl double bond to form alcohols. In a reaction that is very important in sugar chemistry, an alcohol can add across the carbonyl group of an aldehyde to produce a hemiacetal. The substitution reaction of a second alcohol molecule with the hemiacetal produces an acetal. Ketones can undergo similar reactions to form hemiketals and ketals.
