Both ethanal and propanone will react with which of the following?
- A Tollen reagent
- B Schiff reagent
- C Fehling reagent
- D Grignard reagent
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).
