A. 2-Chlorobutanal
B. 2,2-Dimethylpropanal
C. Benzaldehyde
D. 2-Phenyl ethanol
- A D & C
- B A & D
- C A & B
- D C & B
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A & D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Cannizzaro reaction is a disproportionation reaction given by aldehydes that do not possess any \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atom. In the presence of a strong base, these aldehydes undergo self-oxidation and reduction to form a carboxylic acid salt and an alcohol. Analyzing the given…
