aldehyde oxidation

Let us learn about aldehyde oxidation

An aldehyde is refereed as an organic compound containing a formyl group. This functional group, with the structure R-CHO, includes a carbonyl centre bonded to hydrogen & an R group. Aldehydes are commonly engendered by alcohol oxidation.

Many aldehydes are used in large-scale industrial materials, perfume ingredients, useful as solvents, monomers, & intermediates

Ketones are not oxidized under these situations as they lack the critical H for the elimination to occur. Aldehydes can be generated by oxidation of primary alcohols. Aldehydes are oxidized only to carboxylic acids


In our next blog we shall learn about integral table I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
