The ammonia derivatives of carbonyl compounds obtained as colorless precipitate are
(A) Oxime
(B) Hydrazone
(C) Phenyl hydrazone
(D) Semicarbazone
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B), (C) and (D)
All listed compounds are ammonia derivatives of carbonyl compounds formed by the reaction of aldehydes/ketones with reagents derived from ammonia:
- Oxime → from hydroxylamine (NH₂OH)
- Hydrazone → from hydrazine (NH₂NH₂)
- Phenylhydrazone → from phenylhydrazine (C₆H₅NHNH₂)
- Semicarbazone → from semicarbazide (NH₂NHCONH₂)
