The difference between aldehydes and ketones
Is the placement of the carbonyl group
Aldehyde- C–O at the end
Ketone- C–O in the middle

Oxidation reaction for
Primary alcohols->
Sec. Alcohols->
Aldehyde-> carboxylic acid
Ketone-> no more oxidization
Reduction rection for
Aldehyde->
Ketone->
Primary alcohol
Secondary alcohol
Addition of water to carbonyl compounds forms
Hydrate
Addition of alcohols to carbonyl acids forms

Oxidation agents to produce aldehydes or ketones
Acidified potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 orange to green
Acidified potassium manganate KMnO4 purple to colorless
Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by reducing agents such as
NaBH4 or LiAlH4
Aldehydes are reduced to…
Ketones are reduced to…
Primary alcohols
Secondary alcohols
………..is a reaction where a nucleophile (electron-rich species) reacts with an electron-deficient center, typically a positively polarized carbon atom in a molecule. In the context of carbonyl compounds like aldehydes or ketones, nucleophilic addition involves the attack of a nucleophile on the carbon atom of the carbonyl group.
