In 1966, Buckley began hosting Firing Line, a political talk show on National Educational Television, the forerunner of PBS. 1,429 weekly episodes were produced over the next 33 years, until Buckley stepped down in 2000.
Hence, the anion of a ketone, where there are extra alkyl groups is less stable than that of an aldehyde, and so, a ketone is less acidic. In the ester, there is also a resonance donation from the alkoxy group towards the carbonyl that competes with the stabilisation of the enolate charge.
This test is similar to the Tollenâs test and the Benedictâs test in that it distinguishes aldehydes from. ketones on the basis of their ease of oxidation. In the chromic acid test we use chromic acid to oxidize. aldehydes to carboxylic acids; ketones do not react with chromic acid.
