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

  1. A Tollen reagent
  2. B Schiff reagent
  3. C Fehling reagent
  4. D Grignard reagent
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Grignard reagent

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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).
