    Methyl ketone is identified by :

    A)  lodoform test  

    B)  Fehling solution

    C)  Toilers reagent

    D)  Schiffs reagent

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] lodoform test is done to detect presence of\[C{{H}_{3}}CO\] group in organic compounds. [b] Fehling solution identifies aldehydes [c] Tollens reagent identifies aldehydes [d] Schiffs reagent identifies aldehydes Methyl ketone is \[CH-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-R\]. \[\because \] It has \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,\] group. It is tested by using iodoform test. The compound having \[C{{H}_{3}}CO\]group give yellow ppt. on reaction with \[{{I}_{2}}\] and aqueous alkali.
