    \[2HCHO\xrightarrow{50%NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}OH+HCOONa\] This reaction is called:

    A)  aldol condensation

    B)   Tischenko reaction

    C)   Cannizaro reaction

    D)   Reimer Tiemann reaction

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Define all reactions to find correct answer. (i) Aldol condensation: carbonyl compound which have\[\alpha -H\]atom\[+\]\[NaOH\]\[\xrightarrow{{}}\beta -\]hydroxy carbonyl compound (ii) Reimer Tiemann reaction: \[Phenol+CC{{l}_{4}}+NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Salicylic\,\,acid\] (iii) Cannizaro reaction: \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  which\,\,do\,\,not \\  have\,\,\alpha -H\,\,atom \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Aldehydes}}\,+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}alcohol+acid\] \[e.g.,\]                \[2\underset{formaldehyde}{\mathop{HCHO}}\,\xrightarrow{50%\,\,NaOH}\] \[\underset{methanal}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}OH}}\,+\underset{sodium\,\,formate}{\mathop{HCOONa}}\,\]
