Q38 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (22 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Both ethanal and propanone will react with which of the following?

A
Tollen reagent
B
Schiff reagent
C
Fehling reagent
Correct answer
D
Grignard reagent

Solution

Acetaldehyde and acetone both react with a Grignard reagent to give secondary and tertiary alcohols respectively. While Fehling's reagent, Tollen's reagent and Schiff's reagent are reduced by only aldehydes (i.e., acetaldehyde). Hence, the correct option is (4).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
