How acetaldehyde can be used to ethyl acetate ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All aldehyde can be made to undergo Cannizzaro.s reaction with aluminium ethoxide, `Al(OC_(2)H_(5))_(3)`. Under the reaction conditions, alcohol and carboxylic acid so produced react to form ester. For example.
`underset("Acetaldehyde (Two molecules)")(2CH_(3)CHO) overset(Al(OC_(2)H_(5))_(3))rarr underset("Ethyl acetate")(CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5))`
This reaction is called Tis Chenko reaction.
