(d) Benedict’s reagent
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) Benzaldehyde reacts with primary aromatic amine to form schiff’s base
$ \underset{\text{ Benzaldehyde }}{C_6 H_5 CH=O+\underset{\text{ Aniline }}{C_6 H_5 NH_2} \longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text{ Benzylidene aniline }}}{C_6 H_5 CH=NC_6 H_5}+H_2 O} $
