` 2HCO + NaOH to HCOONa + CH_(3) OH` is

A

Rosenmund's reaction

B

Aldol condensation

C

Cannizaro 's reaction

D

Kolbe's reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`2H- overset(O)overset(||)C-H+NaOH to H-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-overset(-+)(ONa)+CH_(3)OH`
When aldehyde having no ` alpha` - hydrogen reacts with base to give salt of carbonxylic acid and alcohol, the reaction is known as Cannizaro's reaction.
