The structures of the isomeric alcohols of the formula C 4 H 10 O that could be oxidized to aldehydes and the structure of the aldehydes that can be oxidized to ketones Concept Information: Isomeric alcohol is the alcohol with the same molecular formula but having different structures. It is not necessary that their properties will be same. They can form many structures based on the position of the carbon atom. Aldehydes are the organic compounds in which carbon is double bonded to the oxygen atom, single bonded to one hydrogen atom and attached to R group either alkyl or side chains. It is represented by –CHO. Ketones are the organic compounds in which carbon atom is double bonded to oxygen and two different alkyl or carbon chains are represented as RC(=O) R'.

Solution Summary: The author explains the structure of isomeric alcohols, which can be oxidized to aldehydes, and ketones, based on the position of the carbon atom.
Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
