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 ...

When chemists pick out reactive hot spots on aldehydes and ketones, they generally focus on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon or the α-carbon next door. The α-carbon can easily shed a proton and ...

This is Part 2 of the two part series on Aldehydes and Ketones. This article contains the crux of the chapter. This is the perfect revision material before examination. In IIT JEE, UPSEE, WBJEE and ...

Enantioselective α-alkylation of carbonyl is considered as one of the most important processes for asymmetric synthesis. Common alkylation agents, that is, alkyl halides, are notorious substrates for ...

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 ...

Ketones are in equilibrium with a form known as an enol. The name enol derives from the fact that enols are a combination of a carbonyl (C=O) containing group, such as an aldehyde or ketone and an ...

A new chemical method that could speed up the creation of medicines, materials and products people rely on every day has been ...

Histones are crosslinked with DNA (histone-DPC) following formaldehyde exposure, leading to the malfunction of cellular processes such as transcription. A team of researchers at Nagoya University in ...
