1. What are desirable properties of a derivative?
2. What is the purpose of preparing a derivative?
→Prepare two good derivatives of each unknown.
Recrystallize from ethanol/water.
Aldehydes and Ketones
• Preliminary tests
To distinguish between aldehydes and ketones:
• Classification tests
• Solubility
• Derivatives
• Spectra
• Tollens Test:
• Jones (chromic acid): check reagent! Test is also positive for …..?
• Schiff reagent: check reagent!
Always do with a known compound to compare!
