Q. How many of the following compounds will NOT reduce Fehling's solution?
$HCHO ,C _{6} H _{5} COCH _{3},C _{6} H _{5} COC _{6} H _{5}, \left( CH _{3}\right)_{3} C - CHO , C _{6} H _{5} CHO , CH _{3} CHO, m - HOC _{6} H _{4} CHO , p - O _{2} NC _{6} H _{4} CHO .$

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Aromatic aldehydes and ketones do not reduce Fehling's solution.
Thus, $C _{6} H _{5} COCH _{3}, C _{6} H _{5} COC _{6} H _{5}$, $C _{6} H _{5} CHO , m - HOC _{6} H _{4} CHO$ and $p - O _{2} NC _{6} H _{4} CHO$ will not reduce Fehling's solution.
