Why Rothera's test not used to detect beta hydroxy butryic acid?

rothera's test is positive only for ketone bodies, having a keto group, that is, c=o group. beta hydroxy butyrate has its c=o group reduced to c-oh. hence, the test becomes negative.

Why 4 hydroxy benzoic acid is less acidic than 2 hydroxy benzoic acid?
as because in 2-hydroxy benzoic acid, there is a possibility of H-bonding which makes the dissociated ion stable and will not combine with H+ ion leaving it free, while it is not so in case of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid.
