Reactions Involving Halocarbons Substitution Reactions: when an atom or group of atoms REPLACES another atom or group of atoms. A halogen can replace a hydrogen atom on an alkene.

Reactions Involving Halocarbons can then be substituted with an Arrhenius base to make the

Aldehyde and Ketone o Uses of Aldehydes and Ketones • Many aldehydes and ketones

Aldehyde and Ketone o Uses of Aldehydes and Ketones • Many aldehydes and ketones have distinctive odors. • Aromatic aldehydes are often used as flavoring agents. • Benzaldehyde is known as oil of bitter almond. • Cinnamaldehyde is the source of the odor of oil of cinnamon. Vanillin, an aldehyde, comes from vanilla beans. A solvent used to remove nail polish is acetone, a ketone.
