Question

Which of the following name reaction is not used for introducing a \( \text{-COOH} \) group?

• A. Cannizzaro reaction
• B. Benzoic acid rearrangement
• C. Baeyer - Villiger oxidation
• D. Iodomorphism reaction

Hint:

The Cannizzaro reaction does not directly introduce a carboxyl group but rather forms an alcohol and an acid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Cannizzaro Reaction.
The Cannizzaro reaction is a base-induced disproportionation of non-enolizable aldehydes, resulting in the formation of an alcohol and an acid, but not specifically introducing a carboxyl group (\( \text{-COOH} \)). The other reactions are directly involved in the introduction of the carboxyl group.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A), Cannizzaro reaction.
