Question

Which of the following reaction is given by both, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde? (A) Cannizaro's reaction (B) Aldol condensation (C) Haloform reaction (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde both will give oxime when treated with

N H_{2} O H

.

H - C ∣ H = O + N H_{2} O H \to H - C ∣ H = N - O H + H_{2} O

C H_{3} - C ∣ H = O + N H_{2} O H \to C H_{3} - C ∣ H = NO H + H_{2} O

Q. Which of the following reaction is given by both, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde?

Cannizaro's reaction

Aldol condensation

Haloform reaction

None of these

Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde both will give oxime when treated with NH2​OH. H−C∣H​=O+NH2​OH→H−C∣H​=N−OH+H2​O CH3​−C∣H​=O+NH2​OH→CH3​−C∣H​=NOH+H2​O

Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde both will give oxime when treated with $N H_{2} O H$ .
$H - C ∣ H = O + N H_{2} O H \to H - C ∣ H = N - O H + H_{2} O$
$C H_{3} - C ∣ H = O + N H_{2} O H \to C H_{3} - C ∣ H = NO H + H_{2} O$
