Which among the above compound/s does/do not form Silver mirror...

Which among the above compound/s does/do not form Silver mirror when treated with Tollen's reagent?

Which among the above compound/s does/do not form Silver mirror when treated with Tollen's reagent?

Options

  1. A(I),(III)( I ) , ( III ) and (IV)( IV ) only
  2. BOnly (IV)( IV )
  3. COnly (II)( II )
  4. D(III)( III ) and (IV)( IV ) only

Correct answer

C. Only (II)( II )

Step-by-step solution

Aldehyde, alpha-hydroxy ketone and hemiacetals give positive Tollen's test. Enol which can get converted into aldehyde through tautomerism are also give positive Tollen's test.

(I)( I ) is aldehyde, (II)( II ) get converted into ketones through tautomerism, (III)( III ) get converted into aldehyde through tautomerism and (IV)( IV ) is hemiacetal so, (II)( II ) will not give positive Tollen's test.

Which among the above compound/s does/do not form Silver mirror when treated with Tollen's reagent?
