Question

CH3COCH3 and CH3CH2CHO can be distinguished by (A) Neutral FeCl3 (B) Tollen's reagent (C) NaHSO3 (D) 2, 4-DNP

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

By neutral textFeCl text3 only allylic and phenol can be distinguished. By textNaHSO3 and 2,4-DNP: ketone and aldehyde both can give test. Ketone and aldehyde can be distinguished by Tollen's reagent, Fehling's solution and Schiff's reagent. CH3COCH3 (ketone) and CH3CH2CHO (aldehyde) can be distinguished by Tollen's reagent. CH3CH2CHO reacts with Tollen's reagent to give silver mirror while CH 3 CH 2 CHO + Ag 2 O stackrelΔarrow CH 3 CH 2 COOH +2 Ag Silver mirror CH 3 COCH 3+ Ag 2 O stackrelΔarrow No reaction
