Chapter 12 - Alcohol, Thiols, Ethers, Aldehydes, and Ketones

Tollens' reagent

Tollens' reagent

________ oxidizes aldehydes to give silver mirrors, but not ketones.

Thiols

________ are subjected to disulfide oxidation.

Carboxylic acids

________ are easily oxidized by aldehydes, but the ketones do not oxidize.

H2

In the presence of an alcohol- giving catalyst, aldehydes and ketones can be reduced with ________.

Alcohols

________ shall be classified by the number of carbon- bound alkyl groups in the ÚFO group.

carbonyl group

The ________ (C "O) consists of a two- way link between the carbon and the oxygen atom Aldehydes and ketones.

Aldehydes

________ and ketones can link hydrogen to water molecules because they are a polar carbonyl group, which makes carbonyl compounds soluble in water from one to four carbon atoms.

atom of oxygen

A(n) ________ is linked with two alkyl or aromatic groups through a single bond.

aromatic groups

The alkyl or ________ are alphabetically indicated in the common names of ethers, followed by ether.

Alcohols

________ in short chains can bind water to hydrogen that making it soluble.

Aldehydes

________ oxidize primary alcohols that can further oxidize carboxylic acids.

carbonyl group

The ________ is numbered to show its position for ketones with more than four carbon atoms in the main chain.

Alcohols

________ dehydrate to produce alkenes at high temperatures in the presence of acid.

carbonyl group

At the end of the carbon chains attached to at least one hydrogen atom, the ________ is found in aldehydes.
