  Carbonyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
Examples of unsaturated carbonyls are acrolein, mesityl oxide, acrylic acid and maleic acid.
The carbonyl group, be it an aldehyde or acid, draws electrons away from the alkene and the alkene group in unsaturated carbonyls are therefore deactived towards an electrophile such as bromine or hydrochloric acid.

 carbonyl group - HighBeam Encyclopedia
CARBONYL GROUP [carbonyl group], in chemistry, functional group that consists of an oxygen atom joined by a double bond to a carbon atom.
If the carbonyl group is joined only to alkyl groups or aryl groups, the compound is a ketone ; if it is joined to at least one hydrogen atom, the compound is an aldehyde.
Another type of reaction is due to the tendency of the electron-deficient carbon atom of the carbonyl group to partially attract electrons from carbon atoms adjacent to it in the molecule, thus increasing the acidity of hydrogen atoms that are bonded to the adjacent carbon.

 Carbonyl Reactivity
Since an aldehyde carbonyl group must always lie at the end of a carbon chain, it is by default position #1, and therefore defines the numbering direction.
Consequently, with the exception of formaldehyde, the carbonyl function of aldehydes and ketones has a π-bond energy greater than that of the sigma-bond, in contrast to the pi-sigma relationship in C=C. This suggests that addition reactions to carbonyl groups should be thermodynamically disfavored, as is the case for the addition of water.
In this case the carbonyl functions are relatively hindered, but by using excess ethanedithiol as the solvent and the Lewis acid BF as catalyst a good yield of the bis-thioacetal is obtained.

 Introduction - Carbonyl Compounds
The functional group on aldehydes and ketones is a carbonyl group (double bond oxygen to a carbon).
In aldehydes, the carbonyl group is on the "end" of a carbon chain, while in ketones, it is in the "middle" of a carbon chain.
A position number is needed for ketones since the carbonyl group may be on any number of several carbons in the "middle" of a chain.

 Aldehydes and Ketones
In the former case, the oxidation level of the carbonyl carbon is reduced from +1 to -1.
In the reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol, the carbonyl carbon acquires a hydrogen atom.
It is capable of reducing the carbonyl group in aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and acid halides.

 O=CHem Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution
It is the principal reaction pathway of the acyl group.
It is interesting to consider why the carbonyl group undergoes nucleophilic addition while the acyl group prefers nucleophilic substitution.
In other words, nucleophilic addition of hydroxide ion to the carbon atom of an acyl group is about as likely as nucleophilic addition to the carbon atom of a carbonyl group.

 Carbonyl Reactivity
From previous knowledge and experience, we surmise that the common intermediate is an enol tautomer of the carbonyl reactant.
The fundamental transformation in this reaction is a dimerization of an aldehyde (or ketone) to a beta-hydroxy aldehyde (or ketone) by alpha C–H addition of one reactant molecule to the carbonyl group of a second reactant molecule.
The additive effect of carbonyl groups on alpha-hydrogen acidity is demonstrated by reaction #3.

 Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones are families of organic compounds which contain the carbonyl group.
A carbonyl group is a carbon with a double bond to an oxygen atom.
This is due to the attraction between molecule due to the polarity of the carbonyl group.

 Carbonyl Group
It is somewhat misleading to write the carbonyl group as a covalent C=O double bond.
As a result, the carbonyl group is best described as a hybrid of the following resonance structures.
When one of the substituents on a carbonyl group is an OH group, the compound is a carboxylic acid with the generic formula RCO

 Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Last time we completed our study of the reactions of aldehydes and ketones, compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded either to carbons or hydrogens.
end of the group (called an alkoxide) which is doing the substituting is very much like the oxygen in an OH Since we've seen the OH act as a nucleophile when it attacked the electrophilic carbon of a carbonyl group, let's begin by seeing what happens if we use the same approach here.
The overall substitution process occurs by an addition-elimination mechanism which begins with a nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group and finishes with the departure of an atom with the bonding pair of electrons.

 an introduction to aldehydes and ketones
If you have side groups attached to the chain, notice that you always count from the carbon atom in the carbonyl group as being number 1.
In pentanone, the carbonyl group could be in the middle of the chain or next to the end - giving either pentan-3-one or pentan-2-one.
The net effect of all this is that the carbonyl group undergoes addition reactions, often followed by the loss of a water molecule.

The functional groups have similar chemistry because chemical reactions and many physical properties depend upon interactions and changes in electron density, functional groups with similar electronic structures will have similar chemistry.
The three fundamental carbonyl group mechanism steps are: Nucleophilic attack at carbon:  Electrophilic attack at oxygen:  Note that electrophilic attack at the (bond is the same as electrophilic attack at the oxygen because the products are resonance structures, and therefore the reactions are identical.
In order of decreasing reactivity to nucleophilic addition: aldehyde > ketone, because: Carbonyl carbon (+: The charge on an aldehyde carbonyl carbon is greater than on a ketone because an aldehyde bears one electron-donating alkyl group attached to the carbonyl, whereas the ketone has two.

These pages are devoted to the chemistry of the carbonyl group, the reactions of aldehydes and ketones.
In your textbook it is shown that it is the tendency of oxygen to acquire electrons - its ability to carry a negative charge - that is the real cause of the reactivity of the carbonyl group toward nucleophiles.
This property of oxygen also underlies a second chemical property of carbonyl compounds: the acidity of hydrogens alpha to the carbonyl group; the conjugate base, the carbanion, is stabilized by resonance.
