Question
Write a test to differentiate between pentan-2-one and pentan-3-one.
Advertisements
Solution
Pentan--one having a group forms a yellow ppt. of iodoform with an alkaline solution of iodine (i.e., iodoform test) while pentan-3-one does not.
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{O}\phantom{.....................................}\\
||\phantom{.....................................}\\
\ce{CH3CH2\underset{Pentan-2-one}{CH2 - C - CH3} ->[I2/NaOH][(Iodoform test)] \underset{Yellow ppt.}{CHI3} + \underset{Sodium butanoate}{CH3CH2CH2COONa}}
\end{array}\]

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
| The carbon-oxygen double bond is polarised in aldehydes and ketones due to higher electronegativity of oxygen relative to carbon. Therefore, they undergo nucleophilic addition reactions with a number of nucleophiles such as HCN, NaHSO3, alcohols, ammonia derivatives and Grignard reagents. Aldehydes are easily oxidised by mild oxidising agents as compared to ketones. The carbonyl group of carboxylic acid does not give reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Carboxylic acids are considerably more acidic than alcohols and most of simple phenols. |
