The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which reagent does not react with both acetophenone and benzaldehyde, we need to analyze the nature of these compounds and the reagents mentioned. ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds - **Acetophenone**: The structure is represented as CH₃C(=O)C₆H₅. It is a ketone. - **Benzaldehyde**: The structure is represented as C₆H₅CHO. It is an aldehyde. ### Step 2: Understand the Reactivity of the Compounds - Aldehydes (like benzaldehyde) are generally more reactive than ketones (like acetophenone) towards certain reagents due to the presence of a hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl carbon in aldehydes. - Both acetophenone and benzaldehyde contain a carbonyl group (C=O) which can participate in various reactions. ### Step 3: List Common Reagents and Their Reactivity 1. **Sodium Hydrogen Sulfide (NaHS)**: Reacts with both aldehydes and ketones, forming thiohemiacetals. 2. **Phenylhydrazine**: Reacts with both aldehydes and ketones to form hydrazones. 3. **Grignard Reagents (RMgX)**: Reacts with both aldehydes and ketones to form alcohols. 4. **Fehling's Solution**: This reagent contains copper(II) ions and primarily reacts with aldehydes. It does not react with ketones. ### Step 4: Determine the Non-Reactive Reagent From the analysis: - **Fehling's Solution** does not react with benzaldehyde (an aldehyde) because it specifically does not react with benzaldehyde, and it also does not react with acetophenone (a ketone). ### Conclusion The reagent that does not react with both acetophenone and benzaldehyde is **Fehling's Solution**. ### Final Answer **Fehling's Solution**
