The species present in Tollen's reagent is

An organic compound with molecular formula C_(9) H_(10) O forms derivative with 2 , 4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine , reduces Tollen's reagent and also undergoes Cannizaro reaction . On vigorous oxidation it forms phthalic acid . Identify that compound .

Monosaccharides and disaccharides in which aldehyde group is free reduce Tollen's reagent as well as Fehling solution and hence are known as reducing sugars. Carbohydrates react with excess of phcayl kydrazine to yield their crystalline derivatives called oxazones.
