All the compounds having free aldehyde group as reducing sugars.
Brady's reagent (2,4-DNP) forms a orange precipitate for all carbonyl compounds (C=O functional group), both aldehydes (primary) and ketones (secondary). However, recrystalisation of the orange precipitate gives characteristic melting points of the crystal for each carbonyl compound (therefore the presence of an orange precipitate indicates a carbonyl compound and the melting point of the crystallised precipitate indicates the type of carbonyl compound; aldehyde or ketone). Tollen's reagent (diamminesilver nitrate solution) is reduced and forms a silver mirror when heated with an aldehyde. It distinguishes between aldehydes and ketones as ketones do not react (no silver mirror formed) as they can not be oxidised further. Fehling's solution (copper II ions in sodium hydroxide) is reduced from a blue solution (Cu II ions) to a brick red precipitate (Cu I ions) when heated in the presence of an aldehyde. Ketones do not react as they can not be oxidised further. The Benedict's test is used in organic chemistry to distinguish between reducing sugars (brick red precipitate formed) and non-reducing sugars (no reaction).
Does not react. Because Tollens' reagent only works with aldehydes. Butanone is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
no negative
No, the Tollen's Silver Mirror Test only confirms the presence of aldehydes.
Glucose oxidizes very quickly, and creates a silver mirror layer between the glucose solution and the Tollens' reagent. This is because of how the ketose reacts and reduces the silver molecules in Tollen's reagent.

Tollens are chemical reagents that are commonly used to determine whether a known carbonyl containing compound is an aldehyde. It is stated that CH3CHO will not react to tollens at all.
Tollens' reagent is used to determine whether a carbonyl containing compound is an aldehyde or a ketone. Acetone is a ketone so it will not readily react with Tollens' reagent.
When adding the aldehyde or ketone to Tollens' reagent, the test tube is put in a warm water bath. If the reactant under test is an aldehyde, Tollens' test results in a silver mirror. If the reactant is a ketone, it will not react because a ketone cannot be oxidized easily. A ketone has no available hydrogen atom on the carbonyl carbon that can be oxidized - unlike an aldehyde, which has this hydrogen atom.
Aldehyde are oxidised to the corresponding carbonic acid by F.'s or T.'s agents. Ketone can not be oxidised.
No.While vanillin is an aldehyde, which should react with Tollens' reagent to precipitate silver metal, vanillin does not "pass" Tollens' test. Tollens' reagent is very basic (sodium or potassium hydroxide). Vanillin has a phenolic hydrogen (OH bonded to a phenyl ring) which is slightly acidic. Vanillin will react first with the excess hydroxide ions in solution to form a phenoxide salt, which will not participate in the silver-precipitating reaction.
