MCQ
Which one does not give cannizzaro's reaction
  • A
    Benzaldehyde
  • $2-$methyl propanal
  • C
    $p-$methoxy benzaldehyde
  • D
    $2,2$ dimethyl propanal

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2-$methyl propanal
b
(b) Aldehyde, which does not have the $\alpha - H$ atom, gives cannizzaro's reaction on heating with conc. alkali solution $(50\%)$

$\mathop {{C_6}{H_5}CHO}\limits_{\alpha  - H{\text{ atom absent}}} $

$\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\,\,\,\,\,C{H_3}} \\ 
  {\alpha |\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {C{H_3} - CHCHO} 
\end{array}}\limits_{\alpha \, - \,H\, - \,atom} $ 

$\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  \,\,\,\,\,{C{H_3}} \\ 
  \,\,\,\,\,{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} 
\end{array}} \\ 
  {C{H_3} - C - CHO} \\ 
  \,\,\,\,{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
\,\,\,\, \,\, {C{H_3}\,\,} 
\end{array}}\limits_{\alpha  - H{\text{  -  atom absent}}} $

$\mathop {HCHO}\limits_{\alpha  - H - {\text{atom absent}}} $
