Q. An organic compound with $M.F. C _{3} H _{5} N$ on hydrolysis forms an acid which reduces Fehling's solution. The compound can be

Amines

Solution:

Carbylamines on hydrolysis always give $HCOOH $ as one of the products which reduces Fehling's solution.

$\underset{\text{Ethyl carbylamine}}{C _{2} H _{5} N \equiv }C +2 H _{2} O \stackrel{ H ^{+}}{\longrightarrow }\underset{\text{Ethylamine}}{ C _{2} H _{5} NH _{2}}+\underset{\text{ reduces Fehling’s solution}} {HCOOH}$
