How are ketons and aldehydes related to each other?

Answer 1

they have the same functional group

Answer 2

Ketones and aldehydes are both characterized by the carbonyl group (a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen). The difference is that in a ketone, the carbonyl carbon is also bonded to at two other carbons, and an in an aldehyde it's bonded to one carbon and one hydrogen (with the exception of the simplest aldehyde, formaldehyde, in which the carbonyl carbon is bonded to two hydrogens). They have somewhat similar chemical properties, as might be expected by the similarity in structure.

Answer 3

Ketones and aldehydes are both functional groups containing a carbonyl group (C=O). Aldehydes have at least one hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl carbon, while ketones have two alkyl or aryl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Both ketones and aldehydes are important in organic chemistry as they participate in various reactions and serve as building blocks for more complex molecules.

Answer 4

An aldehyde can be transformed in a ketone by a hydroacylation reaction.
The aldehyde is coupled over an alkyne or alkene bond.

Answer 5

Both have the carbonyl group -CO-
