Cannizaro's reaction
Question#1
Which of the following on reaction with conc. NaOH gives an alcohol [MP PET 1996]
Question#2
Cannizzaro reaction is not shown by [BHU 1980; IIT 1983; KCET 1993; Bihar MEE 1995; RPMT 1997, 2000, 02]
Cannizzaro’s reaction is shown by aldehydes in which \( \alpha\)-H atom is absent. CH3CHO contains 3,\( \alpha \) -H atoms thus, does not show this reaction.
Question#3
What is the name of reaction when benzaldehyde changes into benzyl alcohol [CPMT 1996; RPET 1999]
Cannizzaro’s reaction involve self oxidation and self reduction.
Question#4
Identify the organic compound which, on heating with strong solution of NaOH , partly converted into an acid salt and partly into alcohol [KCET 2003]
Question#5
A mixture of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde on heating with aqueous NaOH solution gives [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2001]
less hindered carbonyl will be converted into acid during cross Cannizzaro's rxn
Question#6
m-chlorobenzaldehyde on reaction with conc. KOH at room temperature gives [IIT-JEE 1991]
Question#7
If formaldehyde and KOH are heated, then we get [MP PET 1999; KCET 2000]
Question#8
If formaldehyde and KOH are heated, then we get [MP PET 1999; KCET 2000]
Question#9
\( Benzaldehyde + NaOH \rightarrow \ ? \) [CPMT 1997, 2001; CBSE PMT 1999; Pb. PMT 1999]
Question#10
50% NaOH is used in NUMS2021
50% concentrated NaOH solution is generally used in
