INTRODUCTION

,ALDEHYDES, KETONES AND CARBOXYLIC ACIDS

Aldehydes Ketones
Let us see how Can you see something
Raldehydes
– C – H and ketones R – C – R’
common in both the
O are generally O structures
represented
For eg. : For eg. :

H–C–H H3 C C CH3

O O
Formaldehyde Acetone It is called as carbonyl
CH3 – C – H H3C C C2 H5 group

O O
Acitaldehyde Ethyl methyl ketone

Carbonyl compounds
Carbonyl compounds are those organic compounds which contain

The general formula of
Carbonyl group C=O in their molecule.
carbonyl compounds is
CnH2nO

So, we can define
aldehydes and ketones
as carbonyl
compounds
