03 Dec Identify properties characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters
Carbonyl derivatives are a diverse group of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group, consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom. These derivatives include various functional groups such as aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides, each with distinct chemical properties and applications. These compounds are widely utilized in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals; carbonyl derivatives play crucial roles in numerous industrial and biological processes.
