Heterofunctional compounds are organic substances containing two or

more different functional groups that combine both the properties of the corresponding
monofunctional derivatives and their specific chemical characteristics that are most
important for ensuring the biological functions performed by these substance

2. 1.CH3CH2COOH --Propionic acid

2.C4H6O6--Tartaric acid
3. Benzoic acid is a constituent of Whitfield's ointment which is used for the treatment of
fungal skin diseases such as tinea, ringworm, and athlete's foot.

3. 1.Iron (III) ion reacts with phenols to form a purple complex. Salicylic acid
contains a phenol group, but acetylsalicylic acid does not. Therefore, if you add FeCl3
to an aspirin sample and you see a purple color, it means that there is still some
salicylic acid present and the sample is impure.
2. Ferric chloride test: Phenol reacts with neutral FeCl3 to form ferric phenoxide
complex giving violet coloration. But benzoic acid reacts with neutral FeCl3 to give a
buff-coloured precipitate of ferric benzoate.
4. Fehling's solution is a chemical reagent used to differentiate between water-
soluble carbohydrate and ketone functional groups, and as a test for reducing sugars
and non-reducing sugars, supplementary to the Tollens' reagent test. The test was
developed by German chemist Hermann von Fehling in 1849.
artaric acid in Fehling's solution binds to copper(II) ions, preventing the formation of
insoluble hydroxide salts. DL-tartaric acid (racemic acid) (when in 1:1 ratio) …

5. carboxyl group, followed by protonation of the aromatic ring of the anion so formed, ...
