Give a simple chemical test to distinguish between the following pair of compounds:
Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone

उत्तर
Tollen’s Test: Aldehydes respond to Tollen’s test. Benzaldehyde, being an aldehyde, reduces Tollen’s reagent to give a red-brown precipitate of Cu2O, but acetophenone, being a ketone, does not.
\[\ce{\underset{acetophenone}{C6H5COCH3} + \underset{Hypoiodite}{\underset{Sodium}{3NaOI}}->\underset{Benzoate}{\underset{Sodium}{C6H5COONa}} + \underset{(Yellow ppt)}{\underset{Iodoform}{CHI3}} + 2NaOH}\]
Iodoform test: Acetophenone, being a methyl ketone, undergoes oxidation by sodium hypoiodite (NaOI) to give a yellow ppt. of iodoform. However, benzaldehyde does not respond to this test.
\[\ce{\underset{Acetophenone}{C6H5COCH3} + \underset{hypoiodite}{\underset{Sodium}{3NaOI}}->\underset{benzoate}{\underset{Sodium}{C6H5COONa}} + \underset{(yellow ppt)}{\underset{iodoform}{CHI3}} + 2NaOH}\]
\[\ce{\underset{Benzaldehyde}{C6H5CHO} + NaOI -> No yellow ppt of CHI3}\]

You are given four organic compounds “A”, “B” , “C” and “D”. The compounds “A”, “B” and “C” form an orange-red precipitate with 2, 4 DNP reagent. Compounds “A” and “B” reduce Tollen’s reagent while compounds “C” and “D” do not. Both “B” and “C” give a yellow precipitate when heated with iodine in the presence of NaOH. Compound “D” gives brisk effervescence with sodium bicarbonate solution. Identify “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” given the number of carbon atoms in three of these carbon compounds is three while one has two carbon atoms. Give an explanation for our answer.
