Propan acid Propanon

You are given samples of propanal, 2-propanone, and ethanoic acid. Describe how you would use chemical tests, such as acid—base indicators and oxidizing agents, to distinguish among the three compounds.

The acid-catalyzed cyclization of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propan-l-ones leads to chrom-2-enes. This reaction accounts for the formation of 2,4-diphenylchrom-2-ene from the reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide on coumarin. The organometallic reagent ring-opens the coumarin to the ketone which cyclizes to the chromene on boiling with acetic acid (Scheme 26) (63T839). In a similar manner, various benzocoumarins afford propanones which cyclize readily in acetic acid to the naphthopyran (70JCS(C)1758). 

The important polymer intermediate bis-phenol A [2,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-phenyI)propane] used, among other things, in epoxy resins, is made by an acid-induced condensation of 2-propanone and benzenol. Write a stepwise mechanism for this reaction that is consistent with the nature of the reactants and the products. 

Procedure (1) will distinguish ethanoic acid (2) and (3) will distinguish propanal from 2-propanone. 

Diphenyl-l-propene-3-one gives (depending on the ratio ketone silane acid) 1,3-diphenyl-l-propanone (126) (1 1 10) and 1,3-diphenyl-propane (127) (1 3 10), respectively85. ...

Note that oxidizing 2-propanol yields a ketone, not an aldehyde. Unlike aldehydes, ketones resist further oxidation to carboxylic acids. Thus, while the propanal formed by oxidizing 1-propanol easily oxidizes to form propanoic acid, the 2-propanone formed by oxidizing 2-propanol does not react to form a carboxylic acid. 

Very well studied are arylaliphatic compounds ), especially those which have one double bond. By varying the ratio of carbonyl silane acid, the course of reaction can be immensely influenced. If the ratio is 1 1 10, only the double bond is hydrogenated ) whereas a mixture 1 3 10 hydrogenates both the double bond and the carbonyl function ). When this reducing combination is used in the former ratio, 3-benzoyl-butyric acid yields 4-phenyl-vaIeric acid (722), p.p -dinitrobenzophenone p,p -dinitrodiphenylmethane(123), l,6-diphenyl-hexane-l,6-di-one 1,6-diphenyl-hexane 124) and p-methoxybenzaldehyde p-methoxytoluene (725), respectively ). l,3-Diphenyl-l-propene-3-one gives (depending on the ratio ketone silane acid) 1,3-diphenyl-l-propanone (726) (1 1 10) and 1,3-diphenyI-propane (727) (1 3 10), respectively ).

As shown in Equation 9.6, propanal (CH3CH2CHO) on treatment with peretha-noic acid (peracetic acid, CH3CO3H) produces propanoic (CH3CH2CO2H) and etha-noic (acetic, CH3CO2H) acids, the former the result of oxidation and the latter the result of reduction. Similarly, as shown in Equation 9.7, propanone (acetone [(CH3) 2C=0]) under the same conditions produces methyl ethanoate (methyl acetate, CH3CO2CH3) and ethanoic (acetic, CH3CO2H) acids.
