Which of the following (only one) will react to Fehling's solution?BenzaldehydeBenzophenoneBenzilDibenzyl ketone
1)Benzoic acid
2)
3)
4)
Through reading online, I found that Fehling's solution is used to distinguish aldehyde vs. ketone functional groups- aldehydes are oxidized, but ketones do not (except alpha-hydroxy ketones). I then assumed it would be benzaldehyde, however, I also read that aldehydes lacking alpha hydrogens (such as benzaldehyde) does not yield a positive result when tested with Fehling's.
