Chemistry · Aldehyde and Ketones: Nature of carbonyl group, nucleophilic addition to >C=O group, relative reactivities of aldehydes and ketones
In which of the following solvent/(s), aldehydes and ketones are soluble?
In which of the following solvent/(s), aldehydes and ketones are soluble?
- A. Alcohol
- B. ether
- C. benzene
- D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
Aldehydes and ketones are polar due to the carbonyl group, making them soluble in polar protic solvents like alcohol, as well as in common organic solvents like ether and benzene due to dipole-dipole interactions and London dispersion forces.
