Preparation of Ketones from Dialkyl Cadmium

TL;DR

This video discusses the preparation of ketones using dialkyl cadmium as a reagent.

Transcript

hello friends say the previous topic we have discussed about that how we can prepare the aldehyde and how we can prepare ketone by using different chemicals so in this topic let me talk about how we can prepare a ketone by using dye alkyl can be a molecule so based on this let me talk about this topic so the topic is so friends here we are going to...
