Study Notes
Functional Groups and Compounds
- The functional group that characterizes aldehydes and ketones is the carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond).
- Formaldehyde, a widely used compound, is found in building insulation materials and adhesive resins.
Coenzymes and Metabolic Reactions
- Coenzyme A (CoA) is involved in a large number of metabolic reactions.
Industrial Synthesis
- Formaldehyde is synthesized industrially through the oxidation of methanol.
Nomenclature of Aldehydes
- Aldehydes are named by replacing the "e" in the alkane name with "al."
- In the case of cyclic aldehydes, the prefix "cyclo" is used.
