Question

Cannizaro?s reaction is not given by

• A. $CCl_3 CHO$
• B. $CH_3CHO$
• C. $HCHO$
• D. $C_6H_5CHO$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$CH_3CHO$

Answer 2

Cannizaro's reaction is given by only those compounds in which $\alpha- H$ atoms are absent. $CH _{3} CHO ,$ due to the presence of $\alpha- H$ atoms, does not give Cannizaro's reaction.
