Answer:
CH₃CHO+(C₂H₅O)3Al →CH₃COOC₂H₅
Explanation:
- CH₃CHO is an aldehyde (C₂H₅O)3Al is called aluminium ethoxide. Aldehydes in the presence of aluminium ethoxide undergo a similar reaction to Cannizzaro reaction called Tischenko reaction.
- In this reaction, aldehyde is first oxidised into alcohol and then to their corresponding ester.
The reaction that occurs can be depicted as the following
CH₃CHO+(C₂H₅O)3Al →CH₃COOC₂H₅
