A) Benzoin condensation
B) Claisen condensation
C) Cannizaro's reaction
D) Perkin reaction
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Claisen condensation: Aromatic aldehyde condenses with esters having \[\alpha \]-hydrogen atoms like ethyl acetate, in the presence of metallic \[Na\]and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] to form esters of \[\alpha ,\]\[\beta \]-unsaturated acids. \[\underset{benzaldehyde}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO}}\,+\underset{ethyl\,acetate}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}CH-COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH]{Na}\]\[\underset{ethyl\,cinnamate}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHCOO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
