aldehydien
Aldehydien is a term that may appear in various languages or older texts as a reference to aldehydes, a broad class of organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. The standard English term for this class is aldehyde, with the plural aldehydes. The defining functional group is the aldehyde group, –CHO, where the carbonyl carbon is bonded to one hydrogen and one other substituent (R).
Aldehydes are typically polar and moderate in size, which gives them distinctive reactivity and distinctive physical
Synthesis and reactions of aldehydes are central to organic chemistry. They can be prepared by oxidation of
Applications and safety: aldehydes are widely used in resin production, fragrances, and flavorings. Some, notably formaldehyde,
