Easily produced by oxidation of secondary al- cohols, name this class of compounds in which a carbonyl (car-BON-uhl) group is bonded to two other carbons.
The Wieland-Miescher (VEE-lahnd MEE-shur) and Hajos-Parrish (HI-yuss PAAR-ish) examples of these compounds are products of the Robinson annulation, and another member of this class, the main ingredient in artifi- cial butter flavoring, is diacetyl (di-uh-SEE-tuhl). In the presence of mercuric sulfate, alkynes (AL-kines) can be con- verted to these compounds by hydration, and though this class is not lipids (LIH-pids), it does include animal musk and the androgen steroid hormones. Common solvents in this class include the wax precipitating methyl ethyl (METH-uhl ETH-uhl) type along with the primary component of nail polish remover, and a negative result from Tollens' reagent distinguishes this class from aldehydes (AL-duh-hidz).
