Linked from

The 38 pages that link to Aldehyde, each with the reason it gives.

• Carboxylic acidCompared with: Aldehydes share the carbonyl motif but lack the carboxyl group’s hydroxyl.

• Carbonyl groupBroader topic: Aldehydes are one major family distinguished by the carbonyl carbon’s attached hydrogen.

• Functional groupBroader topic: Its carbonyl group makes aldehydes readily oxidized and susceptible to nucleophilic addition.

• FormaldehydeNarrower topic: Formaldehyde is the smallest member of this carbonyl-containing family.

• AlcoholCompared with: Oxidation of a primary alcohol can produce an aldehyde.

• Nucleophilic additionBroader topic: Aldehydes commonly undergo addition and are generally more reactive than ketones.

• KetoneCompared with: Aldehydes place the carbonyl at a chain end; ketones bond it to two carbons.

• Nucleophilic acyl substitutionCompared with: Aldehydes lack the attached leaving group typical of acyl-substitution substrates.

• AcetaldehydeNarrower topic: Acetaldehyde is the simplest aldehyde, with its carbonyl group driving characteristic reactions.

• Grignard reactionRelated: Addition to an aldehyde generally yields a secondary alcohol, or a primary alcohol from formaldehyde.

• Alcohol dehydrogenaseBroader topic: Oxidation of a primary alcohol by the enzyme produces an aldehyde.

• AldoseRelated: This is the defining functional group in an aldose’s open-chain form.

• HydroformylationNarrower topic: Hydroformylation converts an alkene into an aldehyde with one extra carbon.

• ImineRelated: Aldehydes are common carbonyl partners in imine-forming reactions.

• Oxidation of alcoholsRelated: Aldehydes are common products of controlled primary alcohol oxidation.

• Lipid oxidationBroader topic: Hydroperoxide breakdown produces aldehydes that contribute to rancid aromas.

• AcroleinNarrower topic: Acrolein is an unsaturated aldehyde, combining this functional group with a carbon–carbon double bond.

• VanillinNarrower topic: Vanillin’s aldehyde group distinguishes it from related vanilla compounds.

• Wittig reactionBroader topic: Aldehydes are common Wittig substrates and often react more readily than ketones.

• Carbonyl compoundBroader topic: Aldehydes are one of the principal classes of carbonyl compounds.

• CinnamaldehydeNarrower topic: Cinnamaldehyde’s reactive terminal carbonyl group places it in this compound family.

• Pyridoxal phosphateRelated: PLP's aldehyde forms reversible bonds with amino groups during enzyme catalysis.

• BenzaldehydeNarrower topic: Benzaldehyde is the aromatic member of this functional-group family.

• GlyceraldehydeNarrower topic: The open-chain form of glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde group.

• Oxidation of aldehydesNarrower topic: Aldehydes supply the carbonyl carbon that becomes the carboxyl group.

• Wacker processNarrower topic: Acetaldehyde, the process product, is the simplest aldehyde after formaldehyde.

• CitralNarrower topic: Citral’s aldehyde group defines its chemical family and enables characteristic reactions.

• GlyoxalNarrower topic: Each end of glyoxal contains an aldehyde group, giving the molecule two reactive carbonyl centers.

• ButyraldehydeNarrower topic: Butyraldehyde is the straight-chain four-carbon member of this functional-group family.

• DiolCompared with: Aldehydes can form geminal diols by adding water to their carbonyl groups.

• GlutaraldehydeNarrower topic: Glutaraldehyde has two aldehyde groups that react with nucleophilic sites in proteins.

• GlycolaldehydeNarrower topic: Glycolaldehyde's carbonyl group belongs to this compound family.

• Strecker degradationNarrower topic: The reaction was named for its production of aldehydes from amino acids.

• ChloralNarrower topic: Chloral’s carbonyl and aldehydic hydrogen place it in this compound family.

• CitronellalNarrower topic: Citronellal’s terminal carbonyl group defines its key functional group.

• Glyoxylic acidNarrower topic: Glyoxylic acid’s aldehyde group gives it characteristic carbonyl reactions.

• PropionaldehydeNarrower topic: Propionaldehyde is a member of this functional-group family.

• Strecker aldehydeNarrower topic: Strecker aldehydes belong to this reactive family of carbonyl compounds.
