By Cannizzaro reaction A changes to B and C as given
`A overset(50% NaOH)to underset(B)(underset(COONa)overset(COONa)(|" "))+underset(C)(underset(COONa)overset(CH_2OH)(|" "))`. A is

A

`underset(COOH)overset(CHO)(|" ")`

B

`underset(CHO)overset(CHO)(|" ")`

C

`underset(CHO)overset(CH_2OH)(|" ")`

D

`underset(CH_2OH)overset(CH_2OH)(|" ")`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Carbonyl carbon without `alpha`-H
`underset(COOH)overset(CHO)(|" ") overset(NaOH)to underset("by reduction")(underset(CH_2OH)overset(COONa)(|" "))+underset("by oxidation")(underset(COONa)overset(COONa)(|" "))`
