What environmental condition require for most common functional group like amine aldehyde amide and ketones that doesn't destroy them
Accepted Answer
Amides and ketones are quite stable functional groups and can survive in a wide range of environmental conditions. Amines and aldehydes, on the other hand, are more sensitive to their environment. Amines are susceptible to oxidation, which can be prevented by storing them in an inert atmosphere or under an inert solvent. Aldehydes are susceptible to nucleophilic attack, which can be prevented by storing them in a dry environment.
