Describe the Cannizaro reaction

Answer» Cannizaro reaction : On treating with concentrated alkali, aldehydes which do not have any `alpha`-hydrogen atom, undergo self oxidation and reduction (disproptionation) reaction. This reaction is called cannizaro reaction.
`to` As a result , one molecules of aldehyde is reduced to alcohol while another is oxidised to carboxylic acid salt.
For example
`H-overset(H)overset(|)C=O+H-overset(H)overset(|)C=O overset("Conc. NaOH")to underset("Methanol")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-OH)-underset("Sodium methanoate")(underset(ONa)(+HC=O))`

Which of the following reactions is//are correct?A. a.B. b.C. c.D. d.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
a. `CrO_(3)//MeCOOH`, selectively oxidises `(C=O)` bond, so the product is correct.
b. Jones reagent `(H_(2)CrO_(4)+ "aqueous acetone")` oxidies `1^(@)` and `2^(@)` alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, but does not oxidise `(C=C)` bond, so the product is correct.
`MnO_(2)` oxidies only allylic or benzylic hydroxyl group, so no reaction takes place.
c. `SeO_(2)//MeCOOH` selectively hydroxylate allylic position, and simultaneously converts active methylene group to `(-CHO)` group, so the product is correct.
d. The ring `(B)` containing `EWG` (e.g., `(-NO_(2))` group) is stable and therefore does not undergo oxidation, while ring `(A)` is oxidised.
The ring `(B)` containing `EDG` (e.g.,`(-NH_(2))` group) is unstable and undergoes oxidation. So both the products are correct.
So the answers are `(a), (b), (c )`, and `(d)`.
