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.
The molecular formula C 3 H 6 O may refer to: . Chemistry portal; Alcohols. Allyl alcohol or 2-propen-1-ol, CH 2 =CH-CH 2 OH, CAS number 107-18-6; cyclopropanol or cyclopropyl alcohol, cyclo (-CH 2-CH 2-HOHC-), CAS number 16545-68-9
A mixture of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol and 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol may also be used. These starting materials are obtained from a reaction between isobutene and formaldehyde: [3] CH 3 CH 3 CCH 2 + CH 2 O → (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CHO. Finally, in beer the compound is produced via a reaction between the amino acid leucine and reductones in the malt. [4]
With alcohols, reactions, called hydroxylpropylation, analogous to ethoxylation occur. Grignard reagents add to propylene oxide to give secondary alcohols. Some other reactions of propylene oxide include: [14] Reaction with aluminium oxide at 250–260 °C leads to propionaldehyde and a little acetone. Reaction with silver(I) oxide leads to ...
The molecules may be either structural isomers (constitutional isomers) or stereoisomers depending on the location of the isotopes. Isotopomers have applications in areas including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy , reaction kinetics , and biochemistry .
A typical well-known method of preparation is the reaction of potassium hydroxide with 3-chloropropyl acetate at 150 °C: [2]. Yield of oxetane made this way is c. 40%, as the synthesis can lead to a variety of by-products including water, potassium chloride, and potassium acetate.
