benzopinacol and benzopinacolone diferences
Because benzopinacol and benzopinacolone have nearly identical melting points, describe (without using spectroscopic methods) how you might prove that samples of the two compounds are different.

Run a TLC analysis. Benzopinacol will be much more polar and will have an Rf value of ~ 0.40 (using hexane as the developing solvent) and benzopinacolone will have an Rf value of ~ 0.62.
