Cheat Sheet: Aldehydes and Ketones Free Study Guide

Aldehydes and Ketones Cheat Sheet – A Beautiful PDF to Download 

This cheat sheet study guide summarizes the reactions of aldehydes and ketones lay the foundation of understanding the nucleophilic addition reactions to many carbonyl compounds such as esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, and others. This study guide summarizes the key points for reactivities of aldehydes and ketones and the main addition reactions with water, alcohols, amines, and cyanides. These together with protecting groups for aldehydes and ketones, the Wittig reaction and 1,2/1,4 additions to α, β-unsaturated compounds are covered with specific examples.
