Protecting-group-free synthesis has received significant recent research interest in the context of ideal synthesis and green sustainable chemistry. In general, organolithium species react with ...

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 ...

Carbonyls and alkenes, two of the most common functional groups in organic chemistry, generally do not react with one another. Now, a simple Lewis acid has been shown to catalyse metathesis between ...

Complex and subtle, the motions of reagents undergoing stereospecific reactions tend to follow a kind of molecular choreography charted in three dimensions. But sometimes the dance occurs on or near a ...

The Thermo Scientific picoSpin 45 NMR spectrometer is a useful tool for teaching through the aldol condensation reaction. In a number of undergraduate organic teaching programs, probably the first ...

After chemists tried for more than 100 years, a team has finally synthesized a stable heavy-element version of a ketone—a germanone. Main-group inorganic chemists are celebrating the fundamental ...

Imines are one of several reactive groups, called functional groups, that are present in a compound. The mechanism by which the compound reacts is attributed to the properties of its functional group.

In this article, students will get revision notes on Chapter 12: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids based on NCERT Class 12 Chemistry textbook. This article is a continuation of the revision ...
