  2. Fehling's solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fehling's_solution

    In organic chemistry, Fehling's solution is a chemical reagent used to differentiate between water-soluble carbohydrate and ketone (>C=O) functional groups, and as a test for reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars, supplementary to the Tollens' reagent test. The test was developed by German chemist Hermann von Fehling in 1849. [1]

  3. Dakin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin_oxidation

    The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. Overall, the carbonyl group is oxidised, whereas the H 2 O 2 is reduced.

  4. Aldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde

    Aldehyde structure. In organic chemistry, an aldehyde (/ ˈ æ l d ɪ h aɪ d /) is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure R−CH=O. [1] The functional group itself (without the "R" side chain) can be referred to as an aldehyde but can also be classified as a formyl group. Aldehydes are a common motif in many ...

  5. Carbonyl allylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_allylation

    Carbonyl allylation has been employed in the synthesis of polyketide natural products and other oxygenated molecules with a contiguous array of stereocenters. For example, allylstannanation of a threose-derived aldehyde affords the macrolide antascomicin B, which structurally resembles FK506 and rapamycin, and is a potent binder of FKBP12. [12]

  6. Norrish reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrish_reaction

    Typically the more α substituted a ketone is, the more likely the reaction will yield products in this way. [5] [6] The abstraction of an α-proton from the carbonyl fragment may form a ketene and an alkane. The abstraction of a β-proton from the alkyl fragment may form an aldehyde and an alkene. Norrish type I reaction

  7. Dess–Martin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dess–Martin_oxidation

    The Dess–Martin oxidation is an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones using Dess–Martin periodinane. [1] [2] It is named after the American chemists Daniel Benjamin Dess and James Cullen Martin who developed the periodinane reagent in 1983.

  8. Henry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_reaction

    The Henry reaction is a classic carbon–carbon bond formation reaction in organic chemistry.Discovered in 1895 by the Belgian chemist Louis Henry (1834–1913), it is the combination of a nitroalkane and an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of a base to form β-nitro alcohols.

  9. Büchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Büchner–Curtius...

    [11] [12] As shown below, if the reaction of piperanol (IV) with diazomethane is carried out in the absence of methanol, the ketone obtained though a hydride shift is the major product (V). If methanol is the solvent, an aryl shift occurs to form the aldehyde (VI), which cannot be isolated as it continues to react to form the ketone (VII) and ...
