I'm re-reading NMR and stuff before Saturday. We figured out Ketones and Ethers don't H-Bond, what about aldehydes? I was thinking about how pentanal and pentanol would be on TLC. Obviously Pentanol will have a low Rf, but what about compared to pentanal? One of the AAMC's asked about ketones vs alcohols (which I got right, thanks to the no h-bond thing), AAMC11 asked about acids and alcohols (which I got right but for wrong reasons).
EDIT: I'll throw this in here since it's also in TBR. Which would have the strongest H-Bond:
O-H----O
O-H----F
O-H----N
N-H----F
N-H----O
N-H----N
F-H----F
F-H----O
F-H----N
I think it's N-H-F, but maybe it's F-H-F....
