Answer:

Cannizzaro reaction takes place only in the absence of alpha hydrogen . ... Formaldehyde(HCHO),chloral(CCl3CHO) and p-methoxy benzaldehyde all will give this reaction as in all these compounds alpha-hydrogen is absent. ... But, still 2-methyl propanal does not give the Cannizaro reaction ...
