Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Idea This problem includes conceptual mixing of Cannizaro reaction and effect of inductive effect on Cannizaro reaction. While solving this problem, the students are advised to see stability of dianion obtained as intermediate. Cannizaro reaction Conversion of 2 molecules of aldehyde to acid and alcohol due to self oxidation as well as reduction in which one molecule is oxidised to carboxylic acid and one molecule is reduced to alcohol. Necessary condition of Cannizaro reaction is that substrate should not contain \[\text{ }\!\!\alpha\!\!\text{ -}\]hydrogen atom and base is used to conduct the reaction. \[HCHO\xrightarrow[{}]{O{{H}^{\Theta }}}HCHOH+HCOOH\] Role of inductive effect The group having-I effect increases the possibility of hydride transfer hence faster the hydride transfer.You need to login to perform this action.
