In 1966, Buckley began hosting Firing Line, a political talk show on National Educational Television, the forerunner of PBS. 1,429 weekly episodes were produced over the next 33 years, until Buckley stepped down in 2000.
Hence, the anion of a ketone, where there are extra alkyl groups is less stable than that of an aldehyde, and so, a ketone is less acidic. In the ester, there is also a resonance donation from the alkoxy group towards the carbonyl that competes with the stabilisation of the enolate charge.
The aim of this experiment was to identify which functional groups the various chemicals and unknown substances belonged to using the different reaction tests. The main purpose was to determine the reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones. Aldehydes and Ketones are organic compounds consisting of the carbonyl functional group. Aldehydes contain their carbonyl group at the end of the carbon chain and are susceptible to oxidation while Ketones contain theirs in the middle of the carbon chain and are resistant to oxidation.
