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 ...

Contrastingly, the carbonyl group is electron deficient due to the ability of oxygen to attract a bonding pair of electrons more strongly than carbon– a property called electronegativity.

The hydroxyl is nucleophilic; it possesses a lone electron pair that it can donate to the carbonyl carbon and thus form a bond. The carbonyl carbon is amenable to such bond formation as its ...

Thus, the C-H bonds make it difficult to modify ketones ... only two specific sites within their structure -- the carbonyl carbon and the alpha position -- are easily accessible to conventional ...

But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides ... Acid chlorides have been a difficult class of carbonyl compounds to prepare by ...

The results, published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, show promise for making products that are stronger and ...

ORNL researchers developed a new method to enhance carbon fiber composites using carbon nanofibers for improved strength and ...

Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are the compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond (>C=O) called carbonyl group. The carbon and oxygen of the carbonyl group are sp 2 hybridised and the ...
