The purpose of this lab is to identify functional sorts which are present in alcohol, ether, aldehyde and ketone. This lab helps in gaining knowledge about chemical and physical properties of either this four structures. Distinguish them using function group and solubility tests. In this try several test such as physical properties including liquescent point and index of refraction with literature values to compare. Furthermore, identification can be acquired by crystalline derivative and comparing its derivative liques cent point with original to find the original carbonylicic functional group present. Lucas test is used for determining if alcohol is primary, secondary or tertiary. This depends on the substitution reactions in the presence of acid but, the rate at which it reacts depends on the structure of alcohol. Aldehyde and ketone reacts with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form yellow-orange precipitate but, does not react with alcohol. In appurtenance, iodoform test use to recognize methyl ketone by forming precipitation. In this experimentation it is necessary to pass around all attention to what reaction is being form so that accurate results can be obtained.Discussion2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent helps to identify carbonyl groups associated with ketone and aldehyde. When this reagent is added solid yellow-orange precipitate is observed in benzaldehyde and 2-butanone which indicated positive test. Derivatives of this can also, be use to identify the compound. In the experiment be nzaldehyde melting point is 217-220C but, original is 237 C which is close enough (Caroly and David(1999)). This can be ascribable to error caused by taking too much of benzaldehyde to measure its melting point or some impurities in crystals. This test is also called bradys test.+ 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (precipitate)+ 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (precipitate)benzaldehyde atomic number 7 gets attach to carbonyl group after reagent is added therefore, dehydration in reaction results. 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine does not react with alcohol therefore, it is good reagent for carbonyl group.Sodium bisulfite addition test is only positive with aldehydes and methyl ketones. This reaction does not occur with stearically hindered ketones but, it is best indication for aldehyde. In this experiment no reaction occurred in acetophenone and 2-butonone when bisulfite is added to it. This test is positive when white precipitate is for med which is observed when it is added in benzaldehyde and trans-cinnamaldehyde.+ NaHSO3 (sodium bisulfite) white precipitateBenzaldehydeIodoform test is use to distinguish ketones from methyl ketones, when the test is positive it forms iodoform as yellow precipitate. Acetaldehyde and alcohols with hydroxyl radical group at its second place can also give positive and alcohol can oxidize to methyl ketone with iodoform reaction as I2 is oxidizing agent. It is observed that acetophenone and 2,4-pentanedione both reacts as it form yellow precipitate whereas, n-butyraldehyde did not. As, n-butyraldehyde did not contain methyl group it did not react. On the new(prenominal) hand, acetophenone and 2, 4-pentanedione contains methyl group which helps replace a hydrogen atom conterminous to carbonyl group with iodine further, cleaves the iodinated compound to iodoform and carboxylic acid (yellow precipitation).This classifies them as methyl ketones.NaOH and I2 - + iodoform2, 4-pentanedione Oxidation of aldehyde both n-butyraldehyde and benzaldehyde reacts and gives greenish precipitation when reacts with chromic reagent. Therefore, positive sign is it gives greenish bluish precipitate which represents that oxidisation or reduction has occurred. Aldehydes are oxidized easily imputable to chromic acid and forms carboxylic acid whereas, ketones. Chromate reagent replaces hydrogen atom and adds oxygen resulting carboxylic acid.2- butanone is not able to react because it is ketone and it lacks hydrogen atom next to carbonyl group.C3H7CHO(n-butyraldehyde ) + CrO3(chromic acid) n-butyric acid(benzaldehyde) + CrO3 (chromic acid) Benzoic acidWhen sodium is reacted with 1-butanol hydrogen gas is wrick because alcohols are weakly acidic so went they react with alkali admixture gas is produce. So, when tested with litmus paper solution found to be basic.(l) +Na(s) CH3(CH2)3ONa(l) + H-H(g)In lucas test t-butyl alcohol reacted immediately with lucas reagent (HCl and ZnCl2) bec ause it is tertiary alcohol. It forms stable carbocation and forms chlorinated paraffin after attracting negative chlorine. Positive test indicates when turbidity due to governance of insoluble alkyl chloride is mark.1- propanol and 1- butanol does not react with lucas reagent but, 2-pentanol reacts very(prenominal) slowly and reaction is observed after long time. So, lucas test helps forge rate and which is tertiary or secondary alcohol.(CH3)3C-OH + ZnCl2/HCl pee + (CH3)3C-ClUrethane derivative reacts with 1-heptanol which results in phenyl urethane as white precipitate. Phenyl isocynate reacts with alcohol.+ N-phenyl urethane derivativeMelting point of this is 25-30 C but original is 60C (Caroly and David(1999)) there is a lot of contravention this can be due to error performed during experiment.Solubility test concludes that alcohol with less than six carbons are soluble in water, rest of them due to increasing number of carbon it is insoluble in water.In this experiment almost all results were equivalent to expect results.Questions1)a. Certain are like hydroquinone, whose tautomer is ketone and it is oxidizable. Uncertain is if there are other things attach to this molecules may be these tests were not able to detect it vitrine cyano or nitro groups.b. Catecholc. IR ordain identify all other functional groups which were unable to detect by qualitative tests. NMR will give information about isomers example between hydroquinone and catechol.2) Chromic acid forms a chromate ester that will decompose to carnonyl compound and atomic number 24 in a lower oxidation state.C4H9CH(CH3)OH + HO- - C4H9CH(CH3)O- + H2O C4H9CH(CH3)O- + I-I - C4H9CH(CH3)OI + I- C4H9CH(CH3)OI + HO- - C4H9C(CH3)=O + I- + H2OReferenceCarolyn Oconnell and David Dollimore.1999.Determination of melting point using derivative.
