    Which of the following statements are CORRECT about crossed Cannizzaro reaction?
    (I) \[\overset{\Theta }{\mathop{O}}\,H\] ion attacks at the \[(C=O)\] group of .
    (II) \[\overset{\Theta }{\mathop{O}}\,H\]ion attacks at \[(C=O)\]group of .
    (III) The \[{{H}^{\Theta }}\] ion transfer takes place from
    (IV) The \[{{H}^{\Theta }}\] ion transfer takes place from

    A) I                      

    B)        III

    C) I, III                 

    D)        II, IV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] is more reactive aldehyde Since \[-N{{O}_{2}}\] group at p-position is more Electron with drawing than \[-N{{O}_{2}}\] group at w-position. Hence, \[\overset{\Theta }{\mathop{O}}\,H\] attacks at \[(C=O)\] group of [a] and \[{{H}^{\Theta }}\] ion transfer occurs form the dianion of [A]
