Which of the following compound does not give cannizzaro reaction?
Correct answer: C. CH3CHO
- A. (Me)3CCHO
- B. HCHO
- C. CH3CHO
- D. C6H5CHO
Explanation
The Cannizzaro reaction, named after its discoverer Stanislao Cannizzaro, is a chemical reaction which involves the base-induced disproportionation of two molecules of a non-enolizable aldehyde to give a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid. Carbonyl compounds having no α−hydrogen will undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
