Procedure 1. Physical Properties Melting point or boiling point 2. Functional Group Infrared spectrum NMR Spectrum Solubility Classification Tests 3. Solid Derivative
Measure boiling point of liquids
Functional Group Carbonyl Group (1650 - 1725 cm-1)? No Yes Alcohol Amine Aldehyde Ketone Cr. O 3 + - Aldehyde Ketone Yes Alcohol Broad OH in IR 3700 - 4000 cm-1 Yes Primary or Secondary No Tertiary No Amine (Basic? )
Chromic Acid Test Cr. O 3/H 2 SO 4 in acetone H 2 Cr. O 4 red Cr 3+ green
Iodoform Test Reagent: Na. OH and I 2 (Na. OI)
Amines 1. Odor 2. If not soluble in water they may dissolve in dilute aqueous acid (HCl). 3. Water solutions of amines are basic to litmus.
