Which of the following statements does not match correctly for aldol condensation and cannizzaro reactions?
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The reaction is carried out with 50 percent aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide at room temperature. Aldehydes and ketones possessing a-hydrogen atoms react with a cold dilute solution of an alkali to form addition products known as aldols hence this option B is incorrect.

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.
