  • What can aldehydes and ketones be reduced to?

    Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones lead to the formation of alcohols.

  • What are aldehydes reduced to?

    In general terms, reduction of an aldehyde leads to a primary alcohol.

  • How are aldehydes and ketones reduced to alkanes?

    The reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alkanes. Condensation of the carbonyl compound with hydrazine forms the hydrazone, and treatment with base induces the reduction of the carbon coupled with oxidation of the hydrazine to gaseous nitrogen, to yield the corresponding alkane.
  • In other words, aldehydes are better at reducing than ketones due to the presence of the hydrogen atom in their functional group. Aldehydes on oxidation oxidize to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Ketones undergo oxidation with difficulty and yield a mixture of carboxylic acids with fewer carbon atoms.
