Compound A docs not give aldol condensation and Fehling's solution test but gives Tollen's reagent test. Compound A is (A) CH3COCH3 (B) HCHO (C) C6H5CHO (D) C6H5CH2CHO

Benzaldehyde has no α-H. So, it will not give aldol condensation. Benzaldehyde is a weak reducing agent. It reduces ammoniacal silver nitrate solution (Tollen’s reagent) to give silver mirror but does not reduce Fehling soluion. C6H5CHO+Ag2O → 2Ag+ underset textBenzoic acidC6H5COOH
