$CH_3CHO$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Only those aldehydes which do not have $\alpha-H$ atoms undergo Cannizzaro's reaction.$CH_3CHO$ (acetaldehyde) contains $3$ $\alpha-H$ atoms attached to the $\alpha$-carbon.Therefore,it undergoes aldol condensation instead of Cannizzaro's reaction.$C_6H_5CHO$,$HCHO$,and $CCl_3CHO$ do not have any $\alpha-H$ atoms and thus undergo Cannizzaro's reaction.
