A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
D) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Cannizaro reaction is given by only those aldehydes in which \[\alpha -H\]atom is not present. Among the given carbonyl compounds,\[{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}\text{CHO}\] (benzaldehyde) due to lack of \[\alpha -H\]atom, gives Cannizaro reaction as
