aldehyde
Oxidized alcohol product
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a carbon atom double-bonded to oxygen and single-bonded to hydrogen—a structure called a carbonyl group at the end of a carbon chain.
Aldehydes occur widely in nature: formaldehyde is the simplest, while benzaldehyde gives almonds their scent.
Many aldehydes have strong odors, making them important in perfumery and flavoring.
