Which of the following gives a red precipitate of CuX2O on warming with Fehling's solution?
Apropanal
Bbenzaldehyde
Cacetophenone
Dpropanone
Answer: A
Fehling's solution oxidises aliphatic aldehydes, and the CuX2+ is reduced to red CuX2O. Aromatic aldehydes and ketones do not respond. Propanal is the only aliphatic aldehyde listed.
