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

Options

  1. ATollen reagent
  2. BSchiff reagent
  3. CFehling reagent
  4. DGrignard reagent

Correct answer

D. Grignard reagent

Step-by-step 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).
