This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Histones are crosslinked with DNA (histone-DPC) following formaldehyde exposure, leading to the malfunction of cellular processes such as transcription. A team of researchers at Nagoya University in ...
