Organic qualitative analysis employing a minimalistic technique to identify the type and functional group of organic compounds

Abstract

This study uses a minimalistic approach to determine the type and functional group of organic compounds. Employing microscale techniques and simple, cost-effective methodologies, it aims to make organic compound identification accessible and sustainable without compromising accuracy. The focus is on commonly used qualitative tests adapted for minimal reagent use and basic laboratory equipment. This approach benefits educational settings such as schools, colleges, and research centres.
