By adding cold dilute Baeyer's reagnant
More about Baeyer's Reagnant.
- Baeyer's reagnant is cold dilute
- It is an oxidising agent.
If this mixture is added to an unsaturated compounds such as alkenes or alkanes then :
- Purple colour of changes .
- It is first converted to a green compound which is unstable in alkaline medium.
- This again changes to brown
- The supernatant liquid gets decolourised.
However saturated compounds do not respond to the above test.
In simple words........... your answer is :
In order to test unsaturation first add cold dilute Baeyer's reagnant.
If the reagnant decolorises from purple to colourless then the compound is unsaturated
Otherwise if the reaction does not occur , then it is a saturated compound.
