The reaction of A to give B and C is an example of:

  • A
    HVZ reaction
  • B
    Stephen reaction
  • C
    Etard reaction
  • Correct answer
    D
    Cannizzaro reaction

Solution

CH2=CH2→2Zn/H2O1O32HCHO→NaOHConcCH3OHalcohol+HCOO-Na+sodium formate

A is formed by reductive ozonolysis and, B and C is formed by Cannizzaro reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
