Tollens\' reagent, [Ag(NH3)2] , is used to test for the presence of aldehydes. The reaction results in reduction of the silver i
on to form a mirror of silver metal. Concurrently, the aldehyde is oxidized. Draw the structure of the organic product resulting from treatment of 3-methylbutanal with Tollens\' reagent, followed by treatment with acid.
1 answer:
Answer:
On the attached picture
Explanation:
Hello,
As long as the addition of the Tollen's reagent turn out in to the oxidation of the aldehyde, the formed product will be its corresponding carboxylic acid, this is 3-methylbutanoic acid whose structure is shown on the attached picture in the form of the oxidation reaction.
Best regards.
