A) Phenol
B) Benzaldehyde
C) Butanal
D) Benzoic acid
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[A+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}alcohol+acid\] Thus, it is Cannizaro reaction. A is thus aldehyde without\[H\]at\[\alpha -\]carbon. \[(like\,\,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO,\,\,HCHO)\] \[\underset{benzaldehyde}{\mathop{2{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO}}\,+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]\[+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}COONa\]
