Question

In Cannizzaro reaction given below (A) the attack of: O(-)H at the carboxyl group (B) the transfer of hydride to the carbonyl group (C) the abstraction of proton from the carboxylic group (D) the deprotonation of Ph CH2OH

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Hydride transfer is the slowest step.

Q. In Cannizzaro reaction given below

the attack of : $O^{(-)} H$ at the carboxyl group

the transfer of hydride to the carbonyl group

the abstraction of proton from the carboxylic group

the deprotonation of $P h C H_{2} O H$

Hydride transfer is the slowest step.

Q. In Cannizzaro reaction given below

the attack of : O(−)H at the carboxyl group

the transfer of hydride to the carbonyl group

the abstraction of proton from the carboxylic group

the deprotonation of PhCH2​OH

Hydride transfer is the slowest step.

the attack of : $O^{(-)} H$ at the carboxyl group

the deprotonation of $P h C H_{2} O H$
