Cannizzaro's reaction is not given by …..

A

Trimethyl acetaldehyde

B

Acetaldehyde

C

Benzaldehyde

D

Formaldehyde

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Aldehydes having no `alpha-` hydrogen gives Cannizzaro's reaction. Acetaldehyde has `alpha - `hydrogen atom, hence does not give this reaction.

Cannizzaro reaction is not given by

The Cannizzaro's reaction is not give by:

Which of the following statement is//are correct (1) Hydrazone of an aklehyde when heated with sodium ethoxide forms alkane This is known as wolf-kishnec reaction. (2) Cannizzaro's reaction is given by those aldehydes which do not have a-hydrogen atom. (3) Two separate solution, Fehling's solution A (CuSO_(4)) and Fehling's solution B(NaOH+ roschell salt an at first mixed up together and is then heated with the aldehyde A CuO precipitate is formed. (4) Tollen's reagent gives silver mirror with acetaldehyde.

Cannizzaro reaction is an example of

Aldehydes undergo disproportionation reaction in presence of aqueous NaOH. Simultaneou oxidation and reduction of a compound is scientifically called as disproportionation. Aldehydes having no alpha -hydrogen show this rection called Cannizzaro's reaction. Few exception are also there to this represented as : C_(6)H_(5)CHO+C_(6)H_(5)CHO overset(NaOH)underset(Delta)to C_(6)H_(5)COONa+C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH Intramolecular Cannizzaro's reaction is also possible. Answer the following questions : The aldehyde which shows Cannizzaro's reaction is :

Cannizzaro reaction does not take place with

A : In crossed Cannizzaro's reaction in between HCHO and C_(6)H_(5)CHO , HCHO is oxidised. R : OH^(-) firstly attacks on HCHO. So, HCHO is oxidised.
