Functional groups, organic carbonyl

Formation of Functional Groups. Metal carbonyls have been used in a number of cases to synthesize organic molecules containing particular functional groups (147—149). A synthesis of olefins from -dihahdes has been reported (148) ... 

Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl, carbonyl, or amine functional group adjacent to a hydoxyl or carbonyl group can be oxidized using metaperiodate, 104 , as an oxidizing titrant. 

Polarography is used extensively for the analysis of metal ions and inorganic anions, such as lOg and NOg. Organic compounds containing easily reducible or oxidizable functional groups also can be studied polarographically. Functional groups that have been used include carbonyls, carboxylic acids, and carbon-carbon double bonds. 

The search for suitable protecting groups of carbonyl and hydroxyl functions has been of continuous importance in steroid chemistry. As a result of these efforts a good selection of protecting groups is now available for use in organic synthesis.
