"How Aldehydes Shape Our Lives: From Fragrances to Pharmaceuticals"
Aldehydes are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded toat least one hydrogen atom. They are commonly represented by the general formula R-CHO, where"R"is a variable group, such as an alkyl or aryl group. Aldehydes play a pivotal role in organicchemistry due to their reactivity and versatility in various chemical reactions, including oxidation,reduction, and nucleophilic addition.These compounds are found naturally in essential oils (e.g., vanillin and cinnamaldehyde) and are key intermediates in the synthesis of alcohols, acids, and polymers. Common aldehydes like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and perfumery.
