Linked from

The 24 pages that link to Ketone, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbonyl groupBroader topic: Ketones are a major carbonyl family with two carbon substituents at C=O.

• Functional groupCompared with: Its internal carbonyl distinguishes it from an aldehyde’s terminal carbonyl.

• AldehydeCompared with: Ketones share the carbonyl group but lack the aldehyde’s carbon-bound hydrogen.

• AlcoholCompared with: Oxidation of a secondary alcohol commonly produces a ketone.

• Nucleophilic additionBroader topic: Ketones undergo carbonyl addition, with steric and electronic effects shaping their reactivity.

• Nucleophilic acyl substitutionCompared with: Ketones generally undergo nucleophilic addition rather than acyl substitution.

• AcetoneNarrower topic: Acetone is the smallest ketone, with two methyl groups attached to its carbonyl carbon.

• EtherCompared with: Ketones contain a C=O bond, unlike the C–O–C linkage defining ethers.

• Grignard reactionRelated: Addition to a ketone generally yields a tertiary alcohol after workup.

• ImineRelated: Ketones also react with primary amines to form imines.

• Oxidation of alcoholsRelated: Ketones are the usual products of secondary alcohol oxidation.

• CamphorNarrower topic: Camphor’s carbonyl group makes it a cyclic ketone.

• KetoseNarrower topic: A ketone carbonyl in the open-chain structure is the defining feature of a ketose.

• Wittig reactionBroader topic: Ketones are valid substrates, though steric hindrance can make them less reactive.

• Acyl chlorideRelated: Organocuprate reagents can convert acyl chlorides into ketones.

• Carbonyl compoundBroader topic: Ketones form the other familiar class of simple carbonyl compounds.

• CyclohexanoneNarrower topic: Cyclohexanone belongs to this functional-group family.

• Acyl groupCompared with: A ketone has a carbonyl but is not usually classified as an acyl derivative with a leaving group.

• Oxidation of aldehydesCompared with: Ordinary ketones resist the mild oxidation conditions that readily convert aldehydes.

• AcetophenoneNarrower topic: Acetophenone belongs to this functional-group family.

• CarvoneNarrower topic: Carvone’s defining functional group is a ketone.

• Victor GrignardBroader topic: Grignard addition to ketones provides a standard route to tertiary alcohols.

• BenzophenoneNarrower topic: Benzophenone belongs to this functional-group family, with two phenyl groups attached to its carbonyl carbon.

• ButanoneNarrower topic: Butanone is the simplest ketone with four carbon atoms.
