Which one of the following types of reactions is not shown by aldehydes and ketones?
Correct answer: C. β-Elimination reaction
- A. Nucleophilic addition reaction
- B. Reduction reaction
- C. β-Elimination reaction
- D. Oxidation reaction
Explanation
Option Cis correct.β-Elimination reaction is a reaction in which a hydrogen atom and a halogen atom are removed from adjacent carbon atoms in a molecule. This type of reaction is not typically seen with aldehydes and ketones.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
