Q. How many of the following compounds will undergo Cannizzaro reaction?
$C _{6} H _{5} CHO , \quad H _{3} CCH _{2} CH \left( CH _{3}\right) CHO , \quad HCHO$
$\left( CH _{3}\right)_{3} CCHO , CH _{3} CHO , C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} CHO$

Solution:

Cannizzaro reaction is given by compounds containing no $\alpha -H$ atom. Thus, $C_{6}H_{5}CHO,HCHO$ and $\left(\left(CH\right)_{3}\right)_{3}CCHO$ will undergo Cannizzaro reaction.
