What is the rate determining step in Cannizzaro's reaction? |
Answer» Solution :`H- overset(overset(O)(||))(C )-H+ OH^(-) rarr H-UNDERSET(underset(H)(|))overset(overset(O)(|))(C )-OH`  and `H-overset(overset(O)(||))(C )- OH + CH_(3)O^(-) rarr HCOO^(-) + CH_(2)OH` Transfer of hydride ion on to the carbonyl carbon is the RATE determining step in the Cannizzaro.s reaction |
