Aldehydes and cyclic ketones are two common functional groups in organic compounds, which have obvious differences in chemical properties and structures. The difference between aldehydes and cyclic ketones is mainly reflected in their structure and chemical properties. Structurally, aldehydes are a functional group of one class of compounds having the general formula RCHO, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group, and cyclic ketones are a functional group of another class of compounds having the general formula RCOR', where R and R' represent an alkyl or aryl group, respectively. From the formula, it can be found that the molecular structure of aldehydes and cyclic ketones is different. In addition, from the chemical properties, aldehydes and cyclic ketones also have obvious differences. Aldehydes can react with sodium hydroxide in aqueous solution to give the corresponding alcohols and aluminum hydroxides, whereas cyclic ketones do not have this property. In addition, aldehydes can form the corresponding amino alcohols in aqueous ammonia, while cyclic ketones do not have this property. It can be seen that aldehydes and cyclic ketones are also different in chemical properties. There are two main methods for identifying aldehydes and cyclic ketones: chemical reagent method and instrumental analysis method. The chemical reagent method is to use some specific reagents to react on the sample, and judge whether it is aldehyde or cyclic ketone according to the result of the reaction. For example, when a silver hydroxide reagent is used for detection, if an organic silver salt is produced, it indicates an aldehyde; and if an organic ketone salt is produced, it indicates a cyclic ketone. The method of instrumental analysis is to use some instruments and equipment for analysis, such as infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance method, etc. Aldehydes and cyclic ketones can be accurately identified by these methods. In short, aldehydes and cyclic ketones are two common functional groups in organic compounds, which have obvious differences in structure and chemical properties. With appropriate identification methods, we can accurately distinguish between the two, which is helpful for better understanding and application of these two compounds.
