The correct sequence of steps involved in the mechanism of cannizzaro's reaction is……..

Options

A. Nucleophilic attack, transfer of `H^(-)` and transfer of `H^(+)`
B. Transfer of `H^(-)`, transfer of `H^(+)` and nucleophilic attack
C. Transfer of `H^(+)`, nucleophilic attack and transfer of `H^(-)`
D. Electrophilic attack by `OH^(-)`, transfer of `H^(+)` and transfer of `H^(-)`

Answer

A

Explanation

`H-overset(H)overset(|)(C )=O+ OH^(-) overset("fast")underset("Nucleophilic attack")rarr`
