An organic compound A’ having molecular formula C2H5O2N reacts with HNO2 and gives C2H4O3N2. On reduction A’ gives a compound ‘B’ with molecular formula C2H7N.C’on treatment with HNO2 gives C’ which givespositive idoform test . Identify A,B,C.
Out of acetophenone and benzophenone, which gives iodoform test ? Write the reaction involved. (The compound should have CH3CO-group to show the iodoform test.)
Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) contains the grouping (CH3CO attached to carbon) and hence given iodoform test while benzophenone does not contain this group and hence does not give iodoform test.
Give simple chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:
(i) Benzaldehyde and Benzoic acid
(ii) Propanal and Propanone
