Question

The Cannizzaro reaction is not given by

A. trimethylacetaldehye

B. acetaldehyde

C. benzaldehyde

D. formaldehyde

Answer : acetaldehyde

Solution :
TIPS/Formulae :
The compound containing $$\alpha - H$$ atom does not undergo Cannizzaro's reaction.
Acetaldehyde does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction since it has $$\alpha - H$$ atoms while formaldehyde, trimethylacetaldehyde and benzaldehyde undergo Cannizzaro reaction since they do not contain $$\alpha - $$ hydrogen atoms.
