Compounds which undergo Cannizzardo reaction :
(Without α− hydrogen atoms; only aldehydes)
Methanal
2CHCOMethanalConc.NaOH−−−−−−−→CannizzaroreactionCH3OHMethanol+HCOONaSodium benzoate
Compounds which undergo aldol condensation (having α - hydrogen atom) are following:
2-methyl pentanal
Compounds which undergo Cannizzardo reaction :
(Without α− hydrogen atoms; only aldehydes)
Benzaldehyde
2C6H5CHOBenzaldehydeConc.NaOH−−−−−−−→CannizzaroreactionC6H5CH2OHBenzyl alcohol+C6H5COONaSodium benzoate
Compounds which undergo Cannizzardo reaction :
(Without α− hydrogen atoms; only aldehydes)
Benzophenone It is a ketone, so it is a ketonee, so it does not undergo Cannizzaro's reaction. Without α , it cannot participate in aldol condensation.
Compounds which undergo aldol condensation (having α− hydrogen atom) are following :
Cyclohexanone
Compounds which undergo aldol condensation (having α - hydrogen atom) are following :
1 - phenyl propanone
Compounds which undergo aldol condensation (having α− hydrogen atom) are following :
Phenyl acetaldehyde
Compounds which undergo neither of the two reactions - Cannizzaro / Aldol :
Butan - 1 - ol It is an alcohol. So, it cannot participate in any of the above 2 reactions.
Compounds which undergo Cannizzaro reaction :
(Without α - hydrogen atoms; only aldehydes)
2, 2 - dimethyl butanal
Compounds which undergo Cannizzardo reaction :
(Without α− hydrogen atoms; only aldehydes)
