The functional groups of compunds 1-5 are as follows:

1) amine, phenol and halide
2) amine, phenol
3) amide
4) amide and halide
5) amide and ether

Tests for determination of different functional groups are as follows:
Test P -Phenol: Bromine water test: Discharging of the bromine color or formation of a white precipitate is a positive test.

Test H -halide: Silver Nitrate Solution (Ethanolic) test: Production of solid silver halide salt is a positive test.

Test E -ether: iodine test: production of a light tan solid in the purple solution is a positive test.

So 3 tests are required.


Compound 1 2 3 4 5
Test P + + - - -
Test H + - - + -
Test E - - - - +
