Question
To convert 2-butanone into propionic acid(a) $\mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{Nal} / \mathrm{H}^{+}$(b) Fehling's test(c) $\mathrm{I}_{2} / \mathrm{NaOH} / \mathrm{H}^{+}$(d) Tollen's reagent
Step 1
This is a halogenation reaction, where iodine replaces the hydrogen atom in the alpha position of the ketone. The reaction can be written as follows: \[CH_3CH_2COCH_3 + I_2 \rightarrow CH_3CHICOCCH_3 + HI\] Show more…
