Answer:
(a) Compounds which undergo
aldol condensation (having -hydrogen
atom) are following:
(i) 2-methyl pentanal
(v) Cyclohexanone
(vi) 1-phenyl propanone
(viii) Phenyl acetaldehyde
(b) Compound which undergo
Cannizzaro reaction:
(Without -hydrogen
atoms; only aldehydes)
(i) Methanal
(iii) Benzaldehyde
(ix) 2,2-dimethyl butanal
(c) Compounds which undergo
neither of the two reactions- Cannizzaro/Aldol:
(iv) Benzophenone It is a
ketone, so it does not undergo Canniyzaro's reaction. Without -hydrogen,
it cannot participate in aldol condensation.
(viii) Butan-1-ol It is
an alcohol. So it cannot participate in any of the above 2 reactions.
