Why acetone don't react with fehlings solution?

Answers

Answered by pranjal24966

Explanation:

Acetones in general do not respond to Fehling's test , because they do not have the hydrogen (attached to carbon – oxygen double bond which is present in aldehydes) which will undergo oxidation, hence it is difficult to oxidise them with this solution.
