Researchers previously have made aliphatic aldehydes by removing ... that these strains could be further engineered to take aromatic aldehydes and convert them into chiral amines for other types ...

Its aliphatic counterparts, such as cyclohexane (C 6 H 12), are also ring-shaped. However, by contrast with aromatics, they are flexible and thus form a zigzag-like, three-dimensional structure.

Aliphatic aldehydes and reducing sugars will form a yellow-to-red precipitate with Benedict's reagent, causing the blue solution to appear green-to-red. This reaction can be used as a test for such ...
