The number of aldol reaction (s) that occurs in the given transformation is
Options
- A4
- B3
- C2
- D1
Correct answer
B. 3
Step-by-step solution
In this sequence of reaction three times aldol reaction occurs first than cross Cannizaro reaction takes place as follows C H 3 - CHO + 3HCHO → O H - Aldol condensation 3times C H 2 O H 3 - C - CHO C H 2 O H 3 - C - CHO → O H - Cross cannizzaro reaction C - C H 2 O H 4
