This is from a Classification of Carbonyl Compounds lab. The four compounds that gave positive results for question 1 were:
Acetone, Cyclohexanone, Butyraldehyde, and Acetophenone.
Draw the newly formed structure of the functional group formed from the reaction of 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with a compound that gives a positive result. How do you name the structure of that functional group? An unknown compound A (C_6H_12O) gave a negative result from Br_2 test (No C=C bond). It gave a positive 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine test, but a negative Tollens test. The^1H NMR spectrum for compound A gave the following data: 16 ppm, 9H, singlet 09 ppm, 3H, singlet Determine the possible structure of compound A. (Explain your work step by step.)
