Definition Aldehydes are organic compounds with the general structure R-CHO, where R can be aliphatic and aromatic. The functional group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydrogen atom attached to its carbon atom. In formaldehyde, R is a hydrogen atom (HCHO). Aldehydes can be obtained, for example, by oxidation of alcohols or by … Aldehydes
Definition Peroxides are organic or inorganic compounds with the general chemical structure R1-O-O-R2. The simplest and best known representative is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2): H-O-O-H. Peroxides can also form the peroxide anion O22−, for example, lithium peroxide: Li2O2. Nomenclature The trivial names of peroxides are often formed with the suffix -peroxide or the prefix Per-. Representative … Peroxides
Definition Esters are organic compounds formed by the reaction of an alcohol or phenol and an acid such as a carboxylic acid. The condensation reaction releases a water molecule. The general formula of esters is: esters can also be formed with thiols (thioesters), with other organic acids, and with inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid … Ester
