Question
Give Uses of aldehydes and ketones
✓

Answer

→ In chemical industry aldehydes and ketones are used as solvents, starting materials and reagents for the synthesis of other products.
→ Formaldehyde is well known as formalin (40%) solution used to preserve biological specimens and to prepare bakelite (a phenol-formaldehyde resin), urea-formaldehyde glues and other polymeric products.
→ Acetaldehyde is used primarily as a starting material in the manufacture of acetic acid, ethyl acetate, vinyl acetate, polymers and drugs.
→ Benzaldehyde is used in perfumery and in dye industries. Acetone and ethyl methyl ketone are common industrial solvents. Many aldehydes and ketones, e.g., butyraldehyde, vanillin, acetophenone, camphor, etc. are well known for their odours and flavours.

An aromatic compound $A ($Molecular formula $C_8H_8O)$ gives positive $2, 4-DNP$ test. It gives a yellow precipitate of compound $B$ on treatment with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution. Compound $A$ does not give Tollen's or Fehling's test. On drastic oxidation with potassium permanganate it forms a carboxylic acid $C ($Molecular formula $C_7H_6O_2),$ which is also formed along with the yellow compound in the above reaction. Identify $A, B$ and $C$ and write all the reactions involved.
