Test for functional group in organic compound

Aim : To identify the functional group in the given sample of organic compound.

TEST FOR CARBOXYLIC ACID

S.NO. EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE


1. Baeyer’s test No decolouration Substance is a saturated
Organic compound + dilute alkaline of pink colour. compound
KMnO4 solution
2. Ester test :
Organic compound + ethyl alcohol A pleasant fruity Presence of carboxylic acid
+ Conc. H2SO4 + heat for 5 minutes smell is noted
in the warm water bath and pour in
dil. Na2CO3
3. Sodium bicarbonate test:
Organic compound + sodium Brisk effervescence
bicarbonate solution is seen Presence of carboxylic acid
RCOOH + NaHCO3 →
RCOONa + H2O + CO2

Result: The given organic compound is a saturated carboxylic acid.

TEST FOR PHENOL

S.NO. EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE
