2-Methypropanal is an exception which has α hydrogen atom, still undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction

Q. A typical compound undergoes Cannizzaros reaction as well as aldol condensation. The possiblecompound is

$(C H_{3})_{2} C H C H O$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$

$C_{6} H_{5} C H O$

HCHO

$2$ -Methypropanal is an exception which has $α$ hydrogen atom, still undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction
