When aldehyde is treated with

freshly prepared Tollens’
Tollens’ Test reagent, i.e. ammoniacal silver
nitrate solution, a bright silver
mirror is produced

Fehling solution A - aqueous

copper sulphate

Fehling solution B - alkaline

sodium potassium tartrate
(Rochelle salt)
Fehling’s Test When an aldehyde is heated
with Fehling’s reagent, a
reddish-brown precipitate is
obtained

Aromatic aldehydes do not give

this test
