Principles of Qualitative Analysis
Detection of water soluble noninterfaring Acid and Basic Radicals by dry and wet tests from among :
(a) Acid Radicals : Cl-, S2-, SO42-, NO3-, CO32-
(b) Basic Radicals: Cu2+, Al3+, Fe3+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, NH4+
Detection of special elements (N, Cl, Br, I and S) in organic compounds by chemical tests. Identification of functional groups in : phenols, aromatic amines, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids.
Haloarenes – Nucleophilic substitution, cine substitution (excluding mechanism).
Phenols – halogenation, sulfonation, nitration, Reimer-Tiemann and Kolbe reactions.
Aromatic Compounds
Carboxylic Acids – Hydrolysis of esters (mechanism excluded) and cyanides; Hunsdicker and HVZ reactions.
Aldehydes and Ketones – Preparation from esters, acid chlorides, gem-dihalides, Ca-salt of carboxylic acids.
Chemistry of Carbon Compounds
Hybridization of carbon δ and π-bonds.
