15.4 Schiff’s Reagent

Schiff’s reagent is an aqueous solution of magenta or pink coloured rosaniline hydrochloride which has been decolourised by passing $S{O_2}$. When aldehydes are treated with decolourised solution of Schiff’s reagent, its pink or magenta colour is restored. This reaction is used as a test for aldehydes because ketones do not restore the pink colour of Schiff’s reagent.
