Benzaldehyde: Will undergo Cannizzaro reaction on treatment with

Benzaldehyde will undergo Cannizzaro reaction on treatment with concentration N a O H to produce benzyl alcohol and salt of benzoic acid as it does not contain alpha hydrogen. Draw structures of the following derivatives. (i) The 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of benzaldehyde (ii) Cyclopropanone oxime (iii) Acetaldehydedimethylacetal (iv) The semicarbazone of cyclobutanone (v) The ethylene ketal of hexan-3-one (vi) The methyl hemiacetal of formaldehyde View Solution Q 2 The structure of p−methylbenzaldehyde is shown in the figure. In this compound, the methyl group is located at para position with respect to the aldehyde (functional group) Assertion :Fehling's solution can be used to distinguish benzaldehyde from acetaldehyde. Reason: Both benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde reduces Tollen's reagent.
