What is the test to differentiate between pentan-2-one and pentan-3-one?

AIodoform test
Correct Answer
BBenedict's test
CFehling's test
DAldol condensation

Solution

1. pentan-2-one is methyle ketone useful for Iodoform test.
2. Benadict's test will show positive test for both.
3. Fehling's test will be negative for both.
4. both can give Aldol .
