A mixture of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde on heating with aqueous N a O H solution gives

Options

  1. ABenzyl alcohol and sodium formate
  2. BSodium benzoate and methyl alcohol
  3. CSodium benzoate and sodium formate
  4. DBenzyl alcohol and methyl alcohol

Correct answer

A. Benzyl alcohol and sodium formate

Step-by-step solution

In Cannizaro reaction when formaldehyde reacts with other aldehydes lacking α -hydrogen, it is always oxidized and other aldehyde is reduced H C H O + C 6 H 5 C H O → N a O H ∆ H C O O - N a + + C 6 H 5 C H 2 O H
