Carbonyl compounds are determined by a method based on the stable orange colour of 2:4‐dinitrophenylhydrazones in acidic medium. Under such conditions the blank test is negligible. The method proved useful for the determination of aliphatic, aromatic and steroid compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
