What are the most common mistakes students make in Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids?
aldehydes are less hindered and more electrophilic at the carbonyl carbon, so they undergo nucleophilic addition faster than ketones.
Top mistakes to avoid in Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids: • aldehydes are less hindered and more electrophilic at the carbonyl carbon, so they undergo nucleophilic addition faster than ketones. • thinking ketones are more reactive than aldehydes. • ranking phenol as more acidic than a carboxylic acid.
