Question

Which of the following reactions will not reasult in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds ?

Options

A.Reimer-Tiemana reaction
B.Cannizaro reaction
C.Wurtz reaction
D.Friedel-Crafts acylation

Solution

(a) Reimer-Tiemann reaction,
+ CHCl3 + NaOH → + NaOH + H2O
(Here, a new C - C bond is formed.)
(b) Cannizaro reaction,
2HCHO CH3OH + HCOONa
(No new C - C bond is formed in this reaction.)
(c) Wurtz reaction,
2RX + dry Na
(One new C - C bond is formed.)
(d) Friedel-Crafts acylation,

(New C - C bond is formed.)
Thus, among the given reaction, only Cannizaro reaction does not involve the formation of a new C - C bond.
