Fehling's Solution Test

A test where Fehling solution A (aqueous copper sulphate) and Fehling solution B (alkaline sodium potassium tartarate) are mixed in equal amounts.

Ketone Oxidation

Ketones resist oxidation but alpha-hydroxy ketones readily undergo reduction.

Sodium Nitroprusside Test

This is a test that produces a positive result for carbonyl compounds.

Positive Nitroprusside Test Result

When an organic compound reacts with sodium nitroprusside and NaOH, a wine-red color indicates a positive result.
