Chapter 14, Problem 14.34E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula for the organic product formed by the reaction of given compound with Tollens’s reagent is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Tollens test is a laboratory test which is used to identify an aldehyde and a ketone. It is also called as silver mirror test. In this test, Tollens reagent is used for the oxidation of aldehyde, whereas ketone does not give this test. Thus, the reaction of aldehyde with Tollens reagent gives a positive Tollens test.
