Without any solvents or environmentally harmful chemicals, the team led by Professor Lars Borchardt was able to use the vessel to convert alcohols into aldehydes. The catalytic reaction takes ...

The aldehydes in reducing sugars will reduce silver ion from Tollen's reagent to metallic silver, leaving a reflective mirror on the inside of a flask.

Girard and Sandulesco 1 developed a method now known as the ‘Girard reaction’ for the isolation of small amounts of ketosteroids such as the sex hormones from natural products. Aldehydes and ...

Aliphatic aldehydes and reducing sugars will form a yellow-to-red precipitate with Benedict's reagent, causing the blue solution to appear green-to-red. This reaction can be used as a test for such ...
