Organic chemistry

a compound bearing a carbonyl group with at least one hydrogen attached, a reactive class central to synthesis.

In organic chemistry an aldehyde is a compound bearing a carbonyl group with at least one hydrogen attached (the R–CHO functional group), a reactive class central to synthesis. March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry sets out its structure and reactions. The referent is a functional-group class defined by bonding; these are the very molecules that perfumery borrows and renames as an odour family.[1]

Unit
The R–CHO functional-group class of compounds
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Identified by the carbonyl signature in IR and NMR spectra and by characteristic reactions
