18.3 Tests for Aldehydes and Ketones Test for carbonyl group using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine(2,4-DNPH) 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine or 2,4-DNPH can be used to detect the presence of carbonyl group, C=O. The structure of 2,4-DNPH is shown below: This test is usually...
18.2 Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones Reactivity of carbonyl compounds The C=O bond of the carbonyl group is highly polarised due to oxygen atom being more electronegative This causes the slightly positive carbon atom to be susceptible to nucleophilic...
18.1 Introduction to Aldehydes and Ketones What are carbonyl compounds? 1) Carbonyl compounds are compounds that contain the C=O(carbonyl) group. Examples are aldehydes and ketones. Physical properties of carbonyl compounds The boiling point of...
