Which of the following is the correct sequence of step involved in the mechanism of Cannizzaro reaction?Which of the following is the correct sequence of step involved in the mechanism of Cannizzaro reaction?Which of the following is the correct sequence of step involved in the mechanism of Cannizzaro reaction?

Options

  1. ANucleophilic attack, transfer of H−\mathrm{H}^{-}and transfer of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}
  2. BTransfer of H−\mathrm{H}^{-}, transfer of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}and nucleophilic attack
  3. CTransfer of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}, nucleophilic attack and transfer of H−\mathrm{H}^{-}
  4. DElectrophilic attack by OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}, transfer of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}and transfer of H−\mathrm{H}^{-}

Correct answer

A. Nucleophilic attack, transfer of H−\mathrm{H}^{-}and transfer of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}

Step-by-step solution

Cannizzaro reaction involves the aldehydes which do not have an α\alpha-hydrogen atom, undergo self oxidation and reduction reaction on heating with conc. alkali. HCHO+HCHO→ conc. KOHCH3OH+\mathrm{HCHO}+\mathrm{HCHO} \xrightarrow{\text{ conc. } \mathrm{KOH}} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}+HCOO−\mathrm{HCOO}^{-}MechanismStepIAttackofnucleophileMechanism Step I Attack of nucleophileOH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}to the carbonyl carbon. Which of the following is the correct sequence of step involved in the mechanism of Cannizzaro reaction? Step II Transfer of hydride ion from anion I to second molecule of aldehyde and finally rapid transfer of proton takes place.Which of the following is the correct sequence of step involved in the mechanism of Cannizzaro reaction?
