### Step-by-Step Solution for Cannizzaro's Reaction **Step 1: Understanding the Cannizzaro Reaction** - The Cannizzaro reaction occurs with aldehydes that do not have alpha-hydrogens. In this reaction, one molecule of the aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylic acid, while another molecule is reduced to an alcohol. **Step 2: Identify the Reactants** - The reactant for this example will be formaldehyde (HCHO), which is an aldehyde without alpha-hydrogens. The reaction takes place in a basic medium, typically using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). ...
