Amongst the following compounds, the one that will not respond to Cannizzaro reaction upon treatment with alkali is
- A \(\mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{CCHO}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Me}_{3} \mathrm{CCHO}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CHO}\)
- D HCHO
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{CCHO}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For a carbonyl group to give Cannizaro reaction, it should not have an \(\alpha\) -hydrogen atom. Among the given compound \(\mathrm{Ne}_{3} \mathrm{CCHO}, \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CHO}\) and HCHO respond to Cannizaro reaction but \(\mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{CCHO}\)…
