Both ethanal and propanone will react with which of the following?
Options
- ATollen reagent
- BSchiff reagent
- CFehling reagent
- 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).
