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 ...

Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class ... only two specific sites within their structure—the carbonyl carbon and the alpha position—are easily accessible ...

Additionally, research on the state of water in aliphatic ketones has revealed how molecular structure affects water solubility and interactions. The study found that the conformational ...
