Benzaldehyde

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding benzaldehyde and its reactions, we will analyze its ability to undergo aldol condensation and the Cannizzaro reaction. ### Step 1: Determine if Benzaldehyde can undergo Aldol Condensation Aldol condensation requires the presence of alpha hydrogen atoms adjacent to the carbonyl group (C=O) of the aldehyde or ketone. - **Benzaldehyde Structure**: - Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) has a carbonyl group (C=O) but does not have any alpha hydrogen atoms because the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl is part of the aromatic ring. ...
