In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom: C=O. It is common to several classes of organic compounds, as part of many larger functional groups. A compound containing a carbonyl group is often referred to as a carbonyl compound.
Ch18 Ketones and Aldehydes (landscape) Page 5 A ketone or aldehyde group can also be named as a substituent on a molecule with another functional group as its root. The ketone carbonyl is given the prefix oxo -, and the aldehyde group is named as a formyl-group.(This is especially common for carboxylic acids).h18 Ketones and Aldehydes (landscape) Page 13 However, to circumvent this problem, carboxylic acids can be converted first into a functional group that is easier to reduce than an aldehyde group. The group of choice is an acid chloride.
