Cannizzaro reaction

Aldeydes having no α-H undergo the disproportion reaction in the presence of Strong alkali, it is a chemical reaction that involves the base-induced disproportionation of a non-enolizable aldehyde This reaction is known as Cannizzaro reaction.In this reaction two molecules of aldehyde is reacted, 1 is reduced to alcohol and other is oxidized to carboxylic acid.
