Identify the organic compound which, on heating with strong solution of NaOH , partly converted into an acid salt and partly into alcohol

Options

  1. Abenzyl alcohol
  2. Bacetaldehyde
  3. Cacetone
  4. Dbenzaldehyde

Correct answer

D. benzaldehyde

Step-by-step solution

Benzaldehyde lacks - H atom. On heating with strong NaOH solution, it undergoes Cannizzaro reaction to produce benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol. Benzoic acid forms sodium salt with NaOH .
