An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group (C = O). This functional group, consisting of a carbon atom bound to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom via double bond (the general formula: CHO) is called the aldehyde group. In a reaction of the addition of alcohol to the carbonyl group, it forms hemiacetals.
On the picture attached it is shown the reaction of alcohol addition to the carbonyl group with the major organic product <span>formed in the reaction.</span>
In a reduction-oxidation or better known as REDOX reaction, the substance that reduces the oxidation state is known as the substance that is REDUCED. It serves as the oxidizing agent. Thus, Au3+ in this number is considered as the oxidizing agent.
