Consider the following reaction, Select the incorrect statement.
Options
- AIt is not a disproportionation reaction
- BIt is intramolecular redoc reaction
- CO H - is a reducing as well as oxidising agent
- Dis a reducing as well as oxidising agent
Correct answer
C. O H - is a reducing as well as oxidising agent
Step-by-step solution
One CHO is oxidised to C O O - and one CHO is reduced to C H 2 O H . Thus, it is not a disproportionation reaction. It is intramolecular redox reaction. Thus, option A and B are true and is reducing as well as oxidising agent. Thus, option D is also true and option C is incorrect.
