`2C_(6)H_(5)CHO overset(NaOH) to C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH + C_(6)H_(5)COONa`
The similar reaction can take place with which of the following aldehyde?

A

`CH_3CHO`

B

`CH_3 CH_2 CHO`

C

`(CH_3)_3C CHO`

D

`(CH_3)_2CH CHO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`2C_6H_5CHO overset(NaOH)to C_6H_5CH_2OH+C_6H_5COONa`.
This is a cannizzaro.s reaction taking place in Aldehyde having no `alpha` -hydrogen present. In Aldehyde `(CH_3)_3 CHO` in which no `alpha` -hydrogen is present, this reaction can take place.
