4. a) Suggest suitable reagents and write the chemical equation for the conversion of butanal to Butanoic acid. [1 mark] b) Two carbonyl compounds, K and L have same molecular formula C4H80. Treatment of K with iodine in sodium hydroxide produces M and yellow precipitate N. Draw the structure of K, L, M and N. Give simple chemical test to distinguish between K and L, other than iodoform test. State the observations and write the chemical equations. [7 marks]
