I) Tollen's silver mirror test for aldehydes Aldehydes are easily oxidized by silver ion in basic solution. Since silver will precipitate in basic aqueous solution, the silver must first be complexed by ammonium ion. If aldehyde is present with this diamine silver (1) complex in a clean test tube, then reduced silver metal will plate out onto the glass of the test tube and the aldehyde will be oxidized to become the ammonium carboxylate salt. If the test tube is dirty or rough, the silver may appear as a heavy black precipitate. The Tollen's reagent, Ag(NHs)2* (ag), is formed in reactions 1 and 2, below. Reaction 3 shows the reaction of Tollen's reagent with a general aldehyde.

I'm not sure how to go about calculating for percent yield of my product. Do I need to calculate theoretic yield first? I always mix up the formulas. I was performing the horner wadsworth reaction , synthesis of 3,4-Methylenedioxystilbene. The reaction was between diethyl benzylphophonate and 3,4-dimethylenedioxybenzaldehyde. Aliquat 366 was the catalyst.
