tollen test
only aldehydes give this test , ketone doesnt give dis test
in this we take AMMONICAL SILVER NITRATE(AgNO3+NH4OH) , it is mild oxidising agent and oxidise aldehyde
in this silver mirror is formed of Ag+
 
fehling solution
it consistts of two parts     fehling A – Copper sulphate
                                       fehling B --Sodium ptassium tartrate
it oxidise only aliphatic aldehydes not aromatic
in this red ppt of Cu2O is formed
 
Schiff reagent
it is Pararosa anniline + SO2  + HCl
both aliphatic and aromatic aldehyde give dis test
in this pink color will be restored on reaction wid aldehyde
 
approve if useful

                                                 OH                     O
 WHERE G is any group except OH, OCH3, NH2
