Explanation / Answer

Classification Test of 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine :

1) 2 Butanol : No precipitate (negative test)

2) Benzaldehyde : yellow to orange precipitates (positive test)

3) Cyclohexanone : yellow to orange precipitates (positive test)

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine can be used to qualitatively detect the carbonyl functionality of a ketone or aldehyde functional group. A positive test is signaled by a yellow, orange or red precipitate (known as a dinitrophenylhydrazone.) If the carbonyl compound is aromatic, then the precipitate will be red; if aliphatic, then the precipitate will have a more yellow color.The reaction between 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine and a ketone is shown below:

RR'C=O + C6H3(NO2)2NHNH2 C6H3(NO2)2NHNCRR' + H2O

This reaction can be described as a condensation reaction, with two molecules joining together with loss of water. It is also considered an addition-elimination reaction: nucleophilic addition of the -NH2 group to the C=O carbonyl group, followed by the removal of a H2O molecule.

Chromic Acid Test of CrO3-H2So4-acetone :

1) 2 Butanol : blue to green precipitate (positive test)

2) Benzaldehyde : no precipitates (negative test)

3)2 pentanone : no precipitates (negative test)

The Jones Oxidation allows a relatively inexpensive conversion of secondary alcohols to ketones and of most primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. Benzaldehyde and 2 pentanone does not nhave alcohol functional group so they did not react with jones reagent.on other hand 2 butanol is secondary alcohol which react with jones reagent and form corresponding ketone i.e. 2 butanone

Iodoform Test of I2-KI-NaOH :

1) 2 Butanol : yellow precipitate (positive test)

2) 2 pentanone : yellow precipitates (negative test)

3) cyclohexanone : no precipitates (negative test)

When iodine and sodium hydroxide are used as the reagents, a positive reaction gives iodoform. Iodoform (CHI3) is a pale-yellow substance.

The net reaction starting from a methyl ketone and hypohalite may be written:

R-CO-CH3 + 3XO- ==> RCOO- + CHX3 + 2OH-

The oxidation of alcohol to a ketone may be written:

R-CHOH-CH3 + XO- ==> R-CO-CH3 + X- + H2O

The net reaction starting from alcohol and hypohalite is therefore:

R-CHOH-CH3 + 4XO- ==> RCOO- + CHX3 + X- + H2O + 2OH-
