Which does not react with Fehling's solution?

  • A
    $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CHO}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{HCOOH}$

Solution

Aromatic aldehyde $i e, \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CHO}$ are not able to reduce Fehling's solution but it gives Cannizaro's reaction with alkali.

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