Aldehydes and Ketones
Lecture no. 15 from the course: Foundations of Organic Chemistry
Taught by Professor Ron B. Davis Jr. | 31 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online Science Course
Continue exploring oxygen’s role in organic chemistry. Here, Professor Davis introduces you to the properties and reactivity of two simple carbonyl compounds: aldehydes and ketones. What do we know about these oxygen-containing compounds and their chemistry? And what’s their curious connection with how you feel after a night of heavy drinking?
