An aldehyde differs from a ketone by having a hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl group This makes the aldehydes very easy to oxidise For example, ethanal, Aldehyde deformylation is an important reaction in biology, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry and the process has been widely applied and utilized

In plants, aldehyde compounds often act as defense mechanisms, protecting the plants from environmental stressors and herbivores For example, Aldehyde : A functional group characterized by a carbonyl group flanked by a hydrogen atom on one side and a carbon on the other Formaldehyde is
