    A)  Benzaldehyde

    B)  Propanal

    C)  2, 2-dimethylpropanal

    D)  formaldehyde

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Benzaldehyde, formaldehyde and 2, 2-dimethyl propanal do not have \[\alpha \] -hydrogen atom hence they give Cannizzaro's reaction. On the other hand propanal has \[\alpha \] -H-atom hence it does not undergo Cannizzaro's reaction.
