JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
Which one of the following reactions will not result in the formation of carbon-carbon bond?
- A Reimer-Tieman reaction
- B Friedel Craft's acylation
- C Wurtz reaction
- D Cannizzaro reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Cannizzaro reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Canizzaro's reaction is a disproportionation reaction of aldehyde in which one molecule of aldehyde reduces to alcohol whereas other reduces to salt of carboxylic acid \(C_6H_5CHO+ KOH \longrightarrow C_6H_5CH_2OH + C_6H_5COOK\)
