Containing carbonyl groups, chemistry

The Chemistry of Unsaturated Nitrogen-Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Carbonyl Groups... 

The chemistry of highly electron deficient nitrogen heterocycles containing carbonyl groups is covered by Ana M. Costero of the University of Valencia, Spain, in the first overview of this interesting chemistry. 

It might be of interest to prospective biology students to read further in the related chemistry of carbohydrates, as these contain carbonyl groups. See the extension topic at the end of this unit. Section 7.2.7. 

A text on aspects of asymmetry in carbohydrates has appeared, which includes reviews on the composition of reducing sugars in solution, asymmetric reactions of carbohydrates containing carbonyl groups, and prochirality and pseudoasymmetry in carbohydrate biochemistry, besides articles on nitro-sugar stereochemistry, chiral sulphur derivatives, and carbohydrate crown-ether compounds. A general survey of organic chemistry includes an extensive account of monosaccharide chemistry. ... 

Hydrazine and its alkylated derivatives are used as rocket fuels in organic chemistry, substituted phenylhydrazines are important in the characterisation of sugars and other compounds, for example aldehydes and ketones containing the carbonyl group C=0. 

The chemistry of the carbonyl group is probably the single most important aspect of organic chemical reactivity Classes of compounds that contain the carbonyl group include many derived from carboxylic acids (acyl chlorides acid anhydrides esters and amides) as well as the two related classes discussed m this chapter aldehydes and ketones... 

Maleic anhydride [108-31 -6] (1), maleic acid [110-16-7] (2), and fumaric acid [110-17-8] (3) are multiftmctional chemical iatermediates that find appHcations in nearly every field of industrial chemistry. Each molecule contains two acid carbonyl groups and a double bond in the a, P position. Maleic anhydride and... 

Dyestuff organic chemistry is concerned with designing molecules that can selectively absorb visible electromagnetic radiation and have affinity for the specified fiber, and balancing these requirements to achieve optimum performance. To be colored the dyestuff molecule must contain unsaturated chromophore groups, such as a2o, nitro, nitroso, carbonyl, etc. In addition, the molecule can contain auxochromes, groups that supplement the chromophore. Typical auxochromes are amino, substituted amino, hydroxyl, sulfonic, and carboxyl groups. 

Much of the chemistry of diols—compounds that bear- two hydroxyl groups—is analogous to that of alcohols. Diols may be prepared, for example, from compounds that contain two carbonyl groups, using the same reducing agents employed in the preparation of alcohols. The following example shows the conversion of a dialdehyde to a diol by...
