Which of the following reagents is commonly used to test for the presence of unsaturation in organic compounds?
Options
- AFehling's solution
- BTollen's reagent
- CBaeyer's reagent
- DLucas reagent
Correct answer
C. Baeyer's reagent
Step-by-step solution
Baeyer's reagent, which is a cold, dilute, aqueous solution of potassium permanganate, is commonly used to test for the presence of unsaturation in organic compounds by observing its decolorization during the reaction.
