Question

Which is necessary for conversion of butane-2-one into propanoic acid? (A) Tollen reagent (B) Fehling solution (C)  NaOH/I2/H+ (D)  NaOH/NaI/H+

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Methyl ketones when treated with NaOH / I 2 / H +give iodoform and an acid (with one carbon less than the parent ketone). <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/fa635efd481eb2f0ac55f597871e3eb6-.png" />

Q. Which is necessary for conversion of butane- $2$ -one into propanoic acid?

Tollen reagent

Fehling solution

$N a O H / I_{2} / H^{+}$

$N a O H / N a I / H^{+}$

Methyl ketones when treated with $N a O H / I_{2} / H^{+}$ give iodoform and an acid (with one carbon less than the parent ketone).
