When chemists pick out reactive hot spots on aldehydes and ketones, they generally focus on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon or the α-carbon next door. The α-carbon can easily shed a proton and ...
Ketones are important organic compounds found in a variety of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. The synthesis of a ketone directly from a corresponding readily-available aldehyde ...
Several volatile aldehydes, ketones, esters, and terpenoids proved to inhibit the development of field and storage fungi present in stored wheat seeds. At the "effective fungicidal level" (EFL), 2 to ...
Ketones are in equilibrium with a form known as an enol. The name enol derives from the fact that enols are a combination of a carbonyl (C=O) containing group, such as an aldehyde or ketone and an ...
Researchers have discovered the connection between aldehydes, organic compounds produced by cells as part of metabolic processes, and rapid aging. Their findings indicate a potential treatment for ...
Synthetic biologists have engineered bacteria to prevent the microbes from reducing aromatic aldehydes, allowing the cells to synthesize flavorants such as vanillin and a precursor to the ...
Aliphatic aldehydes and reducing sugars will form a yellow-to-red precipitate with Benedict's reagent, causing the blue solution to appear green-to-red. This reaction can be used as a test for such ...
