Which of the following on treatment with aqueus sodium hydroxide will give corresponding alcohol and acid?

A

`C_(6)H_(5)CHO`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO`

C

`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3)`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Benzaldehyde `(C_(6)H_(5)CHO)` without any `alpha`-hydrogen will take part in the Cannizzaro's reaction to form corresponding alcohol `(C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH)` and acid `(C_(6)H_(5)COOH)`. The other three compounds have `alpha`-hydrogen and donot participate in the Cannizzaro's reaction.
