1. Test for the aromaticity (ignition test):
We will see a sooty flame because the compound is aromatic.
2. Test for unsaturated compounds by using 2% bromine and carbon tetrachloride:
After shaking the mixture, the color will change from orange to colorless because the
compound contains unsaturated fat.
3. Test for phenol by using bromine water:
The white precipitate of bromophenol will form because the compound contains phenol.
After shaking the test tube, the precipitate will form because the compound contains ketone.
