1. Carbonyl Compounds: Aldehydes and Ketones | 羰基化合物：醛和酮
Aldehydes and ketones both contain the carbonyl group C=O, but they differ in the groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. In an aldehyde, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom and one alkyl or aryl group; in a ketone, it is bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups.
醛和酮都含有羰基C=O，但连接在羰基碳上的基团不同。在醛中，羰基碳至少与一个氢原子以及一个烷基或芳基相连；在酮中，羰基碳与两个烷基或芳基相连。
The carbonyl group is planar and polar because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. This produces a partial positive charge on the carbonyl carbon and a partial negative charge on the oxygen, making the carbon electrophilic.
羰基是平面且极性的，因为氧的电负性大于碳。这使羰基碳带部分正电荷、氧带部分负电荷，从而使碳具有亲电性。
Examples include methanal HCHO, ethanal CH₃CHO and propanone CH₃COCH₃.
实例包括甲醛HCHO、乙醛CH₃CHO和丙酮CH₃COCH₃。
2. Nucleophilic Addition Mechanism | 亲核加成机理
Aldehydes and ketones react with nucleophiles by nucleophilic addition across the polar C=O bond. The nucleophile attacks the electron-deficient carbonyl carbon, and the π bond breaks onto the oxygen atom.
醛和酮与亲核试剂通过极性C=O键发生亲核加成反应。亲核试剂进攻缺电子的羰基碳，π键断裂并转移到氧原子上。
With hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the reaction produces a hydroxynitrile. The mechanism involves CN⁻ acting as the nucleophile, followed by protonation of the alkoxide intermediate.
与氰化氢HCN反应生成羟基腈。机理是CN⁻作为亲核试剂进攻，随后烷氧负离子中间体发生质子化。
CH₃CHO + HCN ⇌ CH₃CH(OH)CN
The addition of HCN increases the carbon chain length by one carbon atom, which is useful in organic synthesis.
HCN加成使碳链增加一个碳原子，这在有机合成中很有用。
The reaction conditions usually require an acid catalyst or a source of cyanide ions under controlled pH, because HCN is highly toxic.
反应条件通常需要酸催化剂或氰根离子源，并在受控pH下进行，因为HCN毒性很强。
3. Reduction of Carbonyl Compounds | 羰基化合物的还原
Aldehydes are reduced to primary alcohols, and ketones are reduced to secondary alcohols. The reducing agent is usually lithium tetrahydridoaluminate(III), LiAlH₄, in dry ether, or sodium tetrahydridoborate(III), NaBH₄, in water or methanol.
醛被还原为伯醇，酮被还原为仲醇。还原剂通常是干醚中的四氢铝锂LiAlH₄，或水/甲醇中的四氢硼钠NaBH₄。
CH₃CHO + 2[H] → CH₃CH₂OH
The mechanism involves the hydride ion, H⁻, acting as a nucleophile and attacking the carbonyl carbon. This is followed by hydrolysis to form the alcohol.
机理涉及氢负离子H⁻作为亲核试剂进攻羰基碳，随后水解生成醇。
Catalytic hydrogenation with H₂ and a nickel or platinum catalyst can also reduce carbonyl compounds, but LiAlH₄ and NaBH₄ give more controlled conditions.
用H₂和镍或铂催化剂进行催化加氢也可以还原羰基化合物，但LiAlH₄和NaBH₄提供更可控的条件。
4. Testing for Carbonyls and Distinguishing Aldehydes | 羰基的检验与醛的区分
2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) is used to test for the presence of a carbonyl group. A positive result is an orange or yellow precipitate.
2,4-二硝基苯肼（2,4-DNP）用于检验羰基。阳性结果是橙色或黄色沉淀。
Aldehydes can be distinguished from ketones using Tollens’ reagent or Fehling’s solution. Aldehydes are oxidised to carboxylic acids, producing a silver mirror with Tollens’ reagent or a brick-red precipitate with Fehling’s solution. Ketones give no reaction.
醛可用托伦试剂或斐林试剂与酮区分。醛被氧化成羧酸，与托伦试剂形成银镜，或与斐林试剂形成砖红色沉淀。酮不反应。
These tests rely on aldehydes being easily oxidised because the carbonyl carbon carries a hydrogen atom. Ketones lack this hydrogen and are resistant to mild oxidation.
这些检验的依据是醛因羰基碳上连有氢原子而易被氧化。酮没有这个氢，因此较难被温和氧化。
5. Carboxylic Acids: Structure and Acidity | 羧酸：结构与酸性
Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl group, —COOH, which is a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group. They are weak acids and dissociate partially in water to form carboxylate ions and H⁺.
羧酸含有羧基—COOH，即与羟基相连的羰基。它们是弱酸，在水中部分电离生成羧酸根离子和H⁺。
CH₃COOH ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
The acidity of carboxylic acids is explained by resonance stabilisation of the carboxylate anion; the negative charge is delocalised over both oxygen atoms. This stabilisation is not possible in the undissociated acid.
羧酸的酸性可由羧酸根负离子的共振稳定解释；负电荷离域到两个氧原子上。未电离的羧酸不具有这种稳定作用。
Carboxylic acids can form salts with metals, carbonates and bases. For example, ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to release carbon dioxide gas.
羧酸可与金属、碳酸盐和碱反应生成盐。例如，乙酸与碳酸钠反应放出二氧化碳气体。
2CH₃COOH + Na₂CO₃ → 2CH₃COONa + CO₂ + H₂O
6. Esters and Esterification | 酯与酯化反应
Esters are formed when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, usually concentrated sulfuric acid. This is called esterification or Fischer esterification.
羧酸与醇在强酸催化剂（通常是浓硫酸）存在下反应生成酯。这称为酯化反应或费歇尔酯化。
RCOOH + R’OH ⇌ RCOOR’ + H₂O
The reaction is reversible and reaches an equilibrium, so an excess of one reactant or removal of water can be used to increase the yield of ester.
该反应可逆并达到平衡，因此可使用过量的一种反应物或移除水来提高酯的产率。
Esters have characteristic sweet, fruity smells and are used in flavourings, perfumes and solvents. They can be hydrolysed back to the parent acid and alcohol under acidic or alkaline conditions.
酯具有特征性的甜味、果香味，用于香料、香精和溶剂。它们可在酸性或碱性条件下水解回原来的酸和醇。
7. Acyl Chlorides and Acid Derivatives | 酰氯与酸衍生物
Acyl chlorides contain the functional group —COCl. They are more reactive than carboxylic acids because the chlorine atom is a poor electron donor and makes the carbonyl carbon more electrophilic.
酰氯含有官能团—COCl。它们比羧酸更活泼，因为氯原子是较差的电子供体，使羰基碳更具亲电性。
Acyl chlorides react readily with water, alcohols, ammonia and primary amines. These reactions produce carboxylic acids, esters, amides and N-substituted amides respectively.
酰氯容易与水、醇、氨和伯胺反应。这些反应分别生成羧酸、酯、酰胺和N-取代酰胺。
CH₃COCl + H₂O → CH₃COOH + HCl
The reactions are nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanisms. A nucleophile attacks the carbonyl carbon, and then the chloride leaving group is expelled.
这些反应遵循亲核加成-消除机理。亲核试剂进攻羰基碳，然后氯离子离去基团被消除。
Acyl chlorides are prepared from carboxylic acids using thionyl chloride, SOCl₂, or phosphorus(V) chloride, PCl₅.
酰氯可由羧酸与亚硫酰氯SOCl₂或五氯化磷PCl₅反应制备。
8. Chirality and Optical Isomerism | 手性与光学异构
A molecule is chiral if it has no plane of symmetry and cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. This usually arises when a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, called a chiral centre or asymmetric carbon.
如果分子没有对称面且不能与其镜像叠合，则该分子具有手性。这通常出现在一个碳原子连接四个不同基团时，该碳称为手性中心或不对称碳。
Optical isomers are a pair of non-superimposable mirror images, called enantiomers. They have identical physical and chemical properties except for their effect on plane-polarised light and their reactions with other chiral molecules.
光学异构体是一对不能叠合的镜像，称为对映异构体。它们物理和化学性质相同，但对平面偏振光的作用以及与其他手性分子的反应不同。
To identify a chiral centre, look for a carbon atom with four different substituents. For example, butan-2-ol CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃ has one chiral centre at the second carbon.
识别手性中心时，寻找连有四个不同取代基的碳原子。例如，2-丁醇CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃在第二个碳上有一个手性中心。
9. Optical Activity and Racemic Mixtures | 旋光性与外消旋混合物
Enantiomers rotate plane-polarised light by equal amounts but in opposite directions. One enantiomer is dextrorotatory (+) and the other is laevorotatory (−).
对映异构体使平面偏振光旋转相同角度但方向相反。一个对映体为右旋(+)，另一个为左旋(−)。
A racemic mixture is a 50:50 mixture of two enantiomers. It has no overall rotation because the rotations cancel out.
外消旋混合物是两种对映体的50:50混合物。由于旋转相互抵消，总体旋光为零。
When a reaction produces a racemic mixture, the product is formed with equal probability of attack from either side; the intermediate is planar or the nucleophile can approach from both faces.
