Phenylhydrazone • Products have sharp and characteristic • melting point. • Used as the identification of the original • aldehyde and ketone • Note: • NH3 does not react • Predict the product obtained by • adding H2N-NH2 to propanal.
Oxidation • KMnO4/H+ , K2Cr2O7/H+ (Strong oxidizing agent) • RCHO => RCOOH • RCH2COCH2R’ => RCOOH + R’ CH2COOH + • RCH2COOH + R’COOH • C6H5CHO => C6H5COOH requiring reflux for hours
Oxidation • Tollen’s reagent (silver mirror test) • Reagent: 2Ag+ + 2OH- => Ag2O + H2O • Ag2O + 4NH3 + H2O => 2Ag(NH3)2OH • 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + RCHO + 3OH- • => RCOO- +2H2O + 4NH3 + 2Ag (mirror) No reaction with ketone (Tollen’s reagent is a mild O.A.)
Oxidation • Fehling’s reagent • Reagent: alkaline solution of copper(II) tartrate • RCHO + 2Cu2+ + 5OH- => RCOO- + 3H2O + Cu2O • (Fehling) (brick-red) • Note: No reaction with Ketones and Aromatic Aldehydes
