Question

Reaction between benzaldehyde and acetophenone in presence of dilute NaOH is known as
a) cannizaro's reaction
b) cross cannizaro's reaction
c) cross aldol condensation
4) Aldol condensation
plz give full explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cannizzaro, is a chemical reaction that involves the base-induced disproportionation of two molecules of a non-enolizable aldehyde to give a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Aldol condensation occurs in aldehydes/ketones having α-hydrogen with a dilute base to give β-hydroxy aldehydes called aldols.

If the condensation reaction occurs between two different aldehyde/ketone compounds it is called crossed aldol condensation....
