On adding few drops of bromine water, if brown colour of bromine disappears quickly then the compound is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
BY BAEYER'S REAGENT : An alkaline solution of KMnO4 is known as Baeyer's reagent .
Take a small amount of saturated and unsaturated compounds in two different test tubes. A drop of Alkaline solution of KMnO4 is added to both the test tubes. The pink colour of Alkaline KMnO4 solution gets discharged in the test tube containing unsaturated compounds, while the pink colour of Alkaline KMnO4 solution does not get decolorize (no change) in the test tube containing saturated compounds.
