Because aldehydes
. are important
building blocks in organic chemistry,
they are used to synthesize many
other compounds, and there are also
many ways to prepare them.
Oxidation is among the principal
methods.

FORMULA
OF
ALDEHYDE
If the valency of Carbon is filled
with Hydrogen, the member will be
HCHO. If it is filled with methyl
.
group, the member will be
CH3CHO. ... Now, you know the
general formula of alkyl group is
CnH2n+1 and hence general
formula for aldehyde will be
CnH2n+1CHO provided n = 0, 1, 2,
3, etc.
Examples

of
Aldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring
organic compound with the formula
CH₂O. It is the simplest of the
aldehydes. The common name of this
substance comes from its similarity
and relation to formic acid.
Formaldehyde is an important
precursor to many other materials
and chemical compounds.
Acetaldehyde is an organic chemical
compound with the formula CH₃CHO,
sometimes abbreviated by chemists as
MeCHO. It is one of the most important
aldehydes, occurring widely in nature
and being produced on a large scale in
industry.
Benzaldehyde is an organic
compound consisting of a
benzene ring with a formyl
substituent. It is the simplest
aromatic aldehyde and one of
the most industrially useful. It is
a colorless liquid with a
characteristic almond-like odor.
