a simple question;tollens test will differentiate aldehyde but what is 2,4-DNP for?

 

[Mi652]

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine can be used to qualitatively detect the carbonyl functionality of a ketone or aldehyde functional group. A positive test is signaled by a yellow or red precipitate

then it's very similar to tollens test right? except theDNP cannot differenciate b/w the two-ketones aldehyde

exactly. its not as specific
