In the following reaction: HC≡CH (H2SO4, Hg2+) → 'P'. Product 'P' will not give

1. Iodoform test
2. Tollen’s reagent test
3. Brady’s reagent test
4. Victor Meyer test

Correct answer: Tollen’s reagent test

Solution

The reaction converts HC≡CH into acetaldehyde (CH3CHO). Acetaldehyde gives a positive iodoform test, Brady's reagent test, and Victor Meyer test but does not give a positive Tollen's reagent test as it is not an aromatic aldehyde.
