Carbonyl compounds will be taken in this chapter to mean any organic compound that contains at least one carbon-oxygen double bond where we limit the substitution to only saturated aliphatic, saturated alicyclic and aryl hydrocarbyl groups. Carbonyl compounds with a variety of unsaturated substituents have earlier been discussed within the context of enones4. Non-hydrocarbyl substituents, X , may be directly attached to the carbonyl and elsewhere in the molecule. The first type of species, RCOX, is alternatively identified as acyl derivatives such as carboxylic acids and their esters, halides and amides and have already been discussed in a recent Patai thermochemistry...
