Aldehydes reaction with oxidizing agents

Ketones and aldehydes are similar in structure, and they have similar properties. There are some differences, however, particularly in their reactions with oxidizing agents and with nucleophiles. In most cases, aldehydes are more reactive than ketones, for reasons we discuss shortly. 

BARIUM BROMATE (13967-90-3) A strong oxidizer. Reacts with water, forming bromic acid. Explosive decomposition in elevated temperatures above 500°F/260°C. Violent reaction with reducing agents. Incompatible with combustible materials, aluminum, arsenic, carbon, copper, metal sulfides, finely divided metals, organic substances, phosphorus,. sulfur. Aqueous solution is incompatible with organic anhydrides, acrylates, alcohols, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, substituted allyls, cresols, caprolactam solution, epichlorohydrin, ethylene dichloride, glycols, isocyanates, ketones, maleic anhydride, nitrates, nitromethane, phenols, vinyl acetate. 

HYDROXYLAMINE (7803-49-8) A powerful reducing agent. Aqueous solution is a base. Contact with water or steam causes decomposition to ammonium hydroxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Contaminants and/or elevated temperatures above certain ranges (reported at 158°F/70°C and 265°F/129°C) can cause explosive decomposition. Moisture in air or carbon dioxide may cause decomposition. Violent reaction with oxidizers, strong acids, copper(ll) sulfate, chromium trioxide, potassium dichromate, phosphorus chlorides, metals calcium, sodium, zinc. Incompatible with carbonyls, pyridine. Forms heat-sensitive explosive mixtures with calcium, zinc powder, and possibly other finely divided metals. Aqueous solution incompatible with organic anhydrides, acrylates, alcohols, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, substituted allyls.
