Aldehydes are readily oxidised to yield carboxylic acids but ketones are inert to oxidation. Which is the most likely explanation regarding this difference in reactivity?
1
Aldehydes have a proton attached to the carbonyl that is abstracted during oxidation
2
Ketones lack this proton and so cannot oxidised
3
Reducing agents like HNO are sterically hindered by ketone's carbonyl carbon
4
The rate of the forward oxidation reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reduction reaction in ketones
