The aldehydes that do not have훼−퐻푦푑푟표푔푒푛 can undergo disproportionation reaction, i.e., self oxidation and reduction reaction. This reaction is Cannizzaro reaction. So, the given compound should not have alpha-hydrogen. Hence in the given compound the alpha carbon have methyl groups so, it will show Cannizzaro’s reaction. 102. The following reagent converts C6H5COCHO to C6H5CHOHCOOH (a) Aq. NaOH/H+ (b) Acidic Na2S2O3 (c) Na2CrO4/H2SO4 (d) NaNO2/HCl The aldehydes that do not have 훼−퐻푦푑푟표푔푒푛 can undergo disproportionation reaction, i.e., self oxidation and reduction reaction. This reaction is C
