Question

Which of the following tests can be used to distinguish between two isomeric ketones- 3- pentanone and 2- pentanone-I-2-NaOHNaSO-3-HNaCN-HCl2-4-DNP

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

2- pentanone is a methyl ketone- It undergoes haloform reaction with iodine in presence of sodium hydroxide- to form yellow precipitate of iodoform-xA0-3- pentanone is not a methyl ketone- It does not undergo haloform reaction-xA0-Hence- 3- pentanone and 2- pentanone can be distinguished by reaction with iodine in presence of NaOH-
