Identify the method that gives benzyl alcohol?
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Benzaldehyde on heating with conc. NaOH gives Camnizzaro reaction and form benzyl alochol.
Cannizzaro reaction involves the base induced disproportionation of two molecule of a non-enolizable aldehyde to give a primary alcohol and carboxylic salt. Thus, option (3) is correct.
