Correct answer: C. racemic mixture and gives a gas with saturated NaHCO _ 3 solution

Propanal and methanal undergo aldol condensation reaction with sodium hydroxide. The $\alpha, \beta$ -unsaturated compound undergo $1, 4 -$ conjugated addition with cyanide ion gives a racemic mixture. The cyanide undergo acidic hydrolysis gives carboxylic acid.

Consider the following reaction Propanal + Methanal = → _ ( ii ) Δ ( iii ) NaCN ( iv ) H _ 3 O ^ + ^ ( i ) dil . NaOH P

Carboxylic acid will give ${CO}_{2}$ gas, with ${NaHCO}_{3}$ solution
