From its structure, we can see that vanillin does not have a ketone functional group, but it has an aldehyde. It also has a phenol and ether functional group. For that reason, I wouldn't categorize is as just an aldehyde.
No, vanillin is not positive in the DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) test. The DNPH test is used to detect the presence of carbonyl (aldehyde or ketone) functional groups in compounds and vanillin does not contain a carbonyl group.
The functional groups in vanillin are a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO).
Yes, vanillin can give a positive iodoform test. The iodoform test is used to detect the presence of a methyl ketone group attached to a carbon atom adjacent to two other carbon atoms, and vanillin has a structure that can undergo this reaction.
To convert an aldehyde to a ketone, one can use a reducing agent such as a metal hydride (e.g. NaBH4) to add a hydrogen atom to the carbonyl group of the aldehyde, resulting in a ketone. This process is known as a reduction reaction.
Vanilla is a flavor compound that contains both aldehydes and vanillin, which is an aromatic compound. It is not a camphor.

An aldehyde (as the name says)

They have the same functional group.
Benzyl acetate is neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. It is an ester, specifically the ester of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid.
Cinnamaldehyde is an aldehyde. Its structure contains an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached to a benzene ring.
An aldonization is the formation of an aldol - an aldehyde or ketone with a hydroxy group in the beta- position - usually from a correpsonding aldehyde.
Vanillin contain as functional groups ether, hydoxyl and aldehyde.
The conversion of a ketone to an aldehyde can be achieved by using a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride (NaBH4) or lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) in a solvent like ethanol or tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reducing agent donates hydride ions to the ketone, breaking the carbon-oxygen double bond and forming an aldehyde.
