Acetophenone and Benzophenone can be distinguished by which of the following test

Question

Acetophenone and Benzophenone can be distinguished by which of the following test (A) Knoeveangel reaction (B) Canizzaro’s reaction (C) Aldol condensation (D) HVZ Reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Aldehydes and Ketones containing α-hydrogen undergo aldol condensation, since benzophenone does not have α - hydrogen hence do not undergo show this reaction due to presence of α - H atom.

Q. Acetophenone and Benzophenone can be distinguished by which of the following test

Knoeveangel reaction

Canizzaro’s reaction

Aldol condensation

HVZ Reaction

Aldehydes and Ketones containing $α$ -hydrogen undergo aldol condensation, since benzophenone does not have $α$ - hydrogen hence do not undergo show this reaction due to presence of $α - H$ atom.

Q. Acetophenone and Benzophenone can be distinguished by which of the following test

Knoeveangel reaction

Canizzaro’s reaction

Aldol condensation

HVZ Reaction

Aldehydes and Ketones containing α-hydrogen undergo aldol condensation, since benzophenone does not have α - hydrogen hence do not undergo show this reaction due to presence of α−H atom.

Aldehydes and Ketones containing $α$ -hydrogen undergo aldol condensation, since benzophenone does not have $α$ - hydrogen hence do not undergo show this reaction due to presence of $α - H$ atom.
