Question

How does the reactivity of an aldehyde or a ketone toward nucleophiles compare with the
reactivity of the carbonyl compounds whose reactions you studied in Chapter 15?

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
