| One highly characteristic reaction of aldehydes and ketones is nucleophilic addition to the carbon-oxygen double bond. |
| Experience in distilling aldehydes led us to believe that acetaldehyde would form acetals in the overheads of the low pressure column. |
| Hydroxy groups on carbohydrates can be converted to aldehydes through periodate oxidation. |
| Although ketones are not as reactive as aldehydes, they are also important intermediates in the synthesis of many compounds. |
| Over time, however, it oxidizes and chemically degrades to form alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, acids and esters. |
| The aromatic aldehydes have a benzene or phenyl ring connected to the aldehyde group. |
