Aldehydes and ketones are reduced to primary and secondary alcohols respectively by NaBH4 or LiAlH4
as well as catalytic hydrogenation. The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to >CH2,
group on treatment with Zn-Hg and conc. HCI (Clemmensen reduction) or with hydrazine followed by
NaOH or KOH in highly boiling solvent such as ethylene glycol(Wolff-Kishner reduction).
Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxidised to carboxylic
acids on treatment with HNO, KMnO4, K,CrO, etc. Even mild oxidising agents mainly Tollens' reagent
and Fehling's solution also oxidise aldehydes.
Ketones are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions i.e, strong oxidising agents and at elevated
temperatures, to give mixtureof carboxylic acids having lesser number ofC-atoms than the parent ketone.
