Aminoaldehydes and aminoketones

In organic chemistry, aminoaldehydes and aminoketones are organic compounds that contain an amine (:N) functional group as well as either an aldehyde (−CH=O) or ketone (>C=O) functional group. These compounds are important in biology and in chemical synthesis. Because of their bifunctional nature, they have attracted much attention from chemists.
