Vedclass · Answer

(D) Aldol condensation requires the presence of at least one $\alpha-$hydrogen atom in the aldehyde or ketone. $A$,$B$,and $C$ involve carbonyl compounds ($CH_3CHO$,$CH_3CH_2CHO$,$CH_3COCH_3$) that possess $\alpha-$hydrogens,thus they undergo aldol condensation. $D$ involves formaldehyde $(HCHO)$,which has no $\alpha-$hydrogen. Therefore,it does not undergo aldol condensation. Instead,it undergoes the Cannizzaro reaction in the presence of concentrated $NaOH$.

$I. HNO_3$	$II. NH_2NH_2 / OH^-$
$III. 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+$	$IV. NaOH$
