Which of the following compounds would undergo aldol condensation or the Cannizzaro reaction, or neither? Writer the structures of expected products of aldol condensation and Cannizzaro reaction.
i. Methanal ii. 2-Methylpentanal
iii. Benzaldehyde iv. Benzophenone
v. Cyclohexanone vi. 1-Phenylpropanone
vii. Phenylacetaldehye viii. Butan-1-ol
ix. 2,2-Dimethylbutanal

Explanation

(iv) Benzophenone is a ketone. Both having no `alpha` hydrogen atom, while
(viii) Butan-1-ol is an alcohol. Both of these neither undergo aldol condensation nor Cannizzaor's reaction.
