This reagent reacts in a condensation reaction to produce what colors
Highly colored yellow. Orange. Red precipitates
What does red or orange precipitates indicate?
That the ketone or aldehyde group is conjugated to unsaturated substiutuents such as benzene rings, or c=c bonds.
The condensation of diphenylhydrazines with ketone and aldehydes produces
Hydrozenes. Where a C=N bond replaces the original C=O bond of the ketone or functional group
