Benzaldehyde

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction described is the Cannizzaro reaction. Aldehydes that do not contain an $\alpha$-hydrogen atom undergo self-oxidation and reduction (disproportionation) when treated with a concentrated alkali solution like $50\% \ NaOH$. Benzaldehyde $(C_6H_5CHO)$ lacks $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms and thus undergoes the Cannizzaro reaction to produce benzyl alcohol and sodium benzoate. The reaction is: $2C_6H_5CHO + NaOH (50\%) \rightarrow C_6H_5CH_2OH + C_6H_5COONa$.

Which of the following compounds reacts with $50\%$ sodium hydroxide solution to give the corresponding alcohol and acid?
