Q.
To differentiate between pentan-$2$-one and pentan-$3$-one a test is carried out. Which of the following is the correct answer?
Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
Solution:
Only methyl ketone group gives positive iodoform so compound pentan-$2$-one will give iodoform test and pentan-$3$-one will not give.
silver mirror is only valid for aldehyde group, not for ketone.
