About this document

Distinguishing Hydroxyl and Carbonyl Groups by Trisha is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes classification tests that can distinguish between hydroxyl- and carbonyl-containing compounds. It describes experiments using samples like alcohols and carbonyls to test solubility, oxidation, and reactions. The tests include Lucas test, Chromic Acid Test, 2,4-DNP test, Fehling’s Test, Tollens’ Silver Mirror test and Iodoform test. The results of each test are reported and help to differentiate primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols or aldehydes from ketones based on their chemic
