Key Points: Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Ketones

In IUPAC system in aldehyde the suffix ‘e’ of alkane is replaced by ‘al’, e.g.,
CH₃—CH₂—CH=O; Propanal

\[ \underset{\text{2-methylpropanal}}{\mathrm{CH}_3 - \underset{\underset{\displaystyle \mathrm{CH}_3}{|}}{\mathrm{CH}} - \mathrm{CH} = \mathrm{O}} \]

In ketones, the suffix ‘e’ of alkane is replaced by ‘one’.

For example,

\[ \underset{\text{Butan-2-one}}{\mathrm{CH}_3 - \mathrm{CH}_2 - \overset{\displaystyle \mathrm{O}}{\overset{||}{\mathrm{C}}} - \mathrm{CH}_3} \quad \quad \underset{\text{Propanone (Acetone)}}{\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{COCH}_3} \]
