Trichloroacetaldehyde was subjected to Cannizzaro's reaction by using NaOH . The mixture of the products contains sodium trichloroacetate and another compound. The other compound is :

Options

  1. ATrichloromethanol
  2. B2, 2, 2-Trichloropropanol
  3. CChloroform
  4. D2, 2, 2-Trichloroethanol

Correct answer

D. 2, 2, 2-Trichloroethanol

Step-by-step solution

2 CCl ₃ CHO OH ^ (-) CCl ₃ COONa + CCl ₃ CH ₂ OH Cannizaro reaction is a disproportionation reaction One aldehyde molecule is oxidized to salt of the carboxylic Acid, other one is reduced to Alcohol. So the compound is CCl ₃ CH ₂ OH IUPAC Name is 2,2,2,- Trichloro ethanol
