Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Vanillin will react with NaOH and also with Tollen's reagent. Statement (II) : Vanillin will undergo self aldol condensation very easily. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Correct answer
B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Phenolic group soluble in NaOH Benzaldehyde derivative react with Tollen's reagent. Vanillin does not give self-aldol reaction due to lack of acidic H for condensation.
