In this sequence of reaction three times aldol reaction occurs first than cross Cannizaro reaction takes place as follows

(CH)_{3} - CHO + 3HCHO \to (OH)^{-} (((CH)_{2} OH))_{3} - C - CHO

(((CH)_{2} OH))_{3} - C - CHO \to (OH)^{-} C - (((CH)_{2} OH))_{4}

In this sequence of reaction three times aldol reaction occurs first than cross Cannizaro reaction takes place as follows (CH)3​−CHO+3HCHO→(OH)−(((CH)2​OH))3​−C−CHO (((CH)2​OH))3​−C−CHO→(OH)−C−(((CH)2​OH))4​

In this sequence of reaction three times aldol reaction occurs first than cross Cannizaro reaction takes place as follows
$(CH)_{3} - CHO + 3HCHO \to (OH)^{-} (((CH)_{2} OH))_{3} - C - CHO$
$(((CH)_{2} OH))_{3} - C - CHO \to (OH)^{-} C - (((CH)_{2} OH))_{4}$
