A

2, 2, 2- trichloroethanol

B

trichloromethanol

C

2, 2, 2- trichloroproanol

D

chloroform

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Cannizzaro reaction is given by aldolydes `(RCHO)` lacking `H` at `alpha`-carbon or backing `alpha`-carbon (as in `HCHO)` With `NaOH`, there is formation of acid salt `(RCOO)` by oxidation and alcohol `(RCH_(2)OH)` by reduction.
