The compounds of oxygen, i.e. OH acids, ethers, quinones, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic esters and amine oxides, sulfoxides, and phosphane oxides, are compared and contrasted with those compounds which contain a C(CN) 2 moiety in place of the characteristic O atom. In their typical properties the pairs of analogs frequently display surprising agreement. The purpose of such analogy studies lies primarily in the estimation of reactivities; their limits are reached where specific properties of the structual components become effective.
