What would be the products obtained when a mixture of p-Methoxy benzaldehyde and Methanal are heated with \(50 \%\) concentrated Caustic soda solution?
- A p- Methoxy benzyl alcohol and methanol.
- B p- Methoxy sodium benzoate and sodium formate
- C p-Methoxy benzyl alcohol and sodium formate.
- D p- Methoxy sodium benzoate and sodium acetate.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) p-Methoxy benzyl alcohol and sodium formate.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction between p-Methoxybenzaldehyde and Methanal in the presence of concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide (50% NaOH) is a crossed Cannizzaro reaction. In a crossed Cannizzaro reaction involving an aromatic aldehyde and formaldehyde, formaldehyde acts as the reducing agent…
