The presence of nitrogen and sulphur does not interfere in this test. In this test acidify a little sodium extract with.$HN{O_3}$ or.${H_2}S{O_4}$ and acid $CHC{l_3}$ or $CC{l_4}$ and excess of chlorine water. If an organic layer becomes yellow or brown, bromine is present and if violet, iodine is present. \[2NaBr\; + \;C{l_2}\;\xrightarrow{{}}\;2NaCl\; + \;B{r_2}\]\[CHC{l_3} + B{r_2}\xrightarrow{{}}\;Yellow\;or\;brown\;layer\]\[2NaI\; + \;C{l_2}\xrightarrow{{}}\;2NaCl\; + \;{I_2}\]\[CHC{l_3} + {I_2}\xrightarrow{{}}\;Voilet\;layer\]
Beilstein’s Test: Many organic compounds containing halogens impart a green colour to the Bunsen flame when heated on a copper wire. The green colour is developed due to the formation of volatile halides of copper. However, nitrogen compound urea also imparts green colour to the flame.
