The 62 pages that link to Carbonyl group, each with the reason it gives.

• AldehydeNarrower topic: The C=O bond is the shared reactive core of every aldehyde.

• KetoneNarrower topic: The carbonyl is the defining structural feature of every ketone.

• Nucleophilic acyl substitutionNarrower topic: Its polarized π bond makes nucleophilic attack possible.

• EnolateNarrower topic: Enolates originate from compounds containing this group.

• Aldol reactionNarrower topic: Aldol reactions depend on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon and carbonyl-derived nucleophiles.

• EnolNarrower topic: Enols commonly interconvert with compounds containing this group.

• Ester hydrolysisNarrower topic: The electrophilic carbonyl carbon is the site attacked by water or hydroxide.

• Keto–enol tautomerismNarrower topic: The keto form contains the carbonyl group that participates in tautomerization.

• Wittig reactionNarrower topic: The reaction replaces this group’s oxygen with a carbon from the ylide.

• Acyl chlorideNarrower topic: The carbonyl bond makes the acyl carbon susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

• Oxidation of aldehydesNarrower topic: Its carbon atom is the site transformed during aldehyde oxidation.

• Amadori rearrangementNarrower topic: The sugar carbonyl is the electrophilic site that reacts with the amino compound.

• DiacetylNarrower topic: Diacetyl’s two carbonyl groups give it characteristic chemical reactivity.

• GlyoxalNarrower topic: Glyoxal’s two carbonyl groups account for its characteristic electrophilic reactions.
