Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are the compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond (>C=O) called carbonyl group. The carbon and oxygen of the carbonyl group are sp 2 hybridised and the ...

Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bioactive organic molecules and readily available chemical building blocks. Carboxylic ...

Carboxylic acids. A common carboxylic acid is ethanoic acid, vinegar. ... Aldehydes and ketones are compounds with carbonyl groups that play an important role in our foods.

In this paper, camphor sulfonic acid-catalysed protection of various carbonyl compounds is developed. This method is simple, environmentally friendly and yields products in high yields.

Haloform reaction: Methyl ketones are oxidized with X 2 /NaOH to sodium salts of corresponding carboxylic acids having one carbon atom less than that of carbonyl compound.. NCERT Exemplar ...
