This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds.

forming two additional ketone (carbonyl) groups. The loss of hydrogen indicates an oxidation reaction (increasing the oxygen to hydrogen ratio) and the molecule will also lose two electrons.

Ketone bodies are not just about energy. These metabolites are powerful signaling molecules that have profound effects on the proteome and protein quality control in the brain. Scientists, working ...
