Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

The reaction between benzaldehyde and acetophenone in the presence of dilute NaOH is known as:

  1. A.Aldol condensation
  2. B.Cannizzaro's reaction
  3. C.Cross-Cannizzaro's reaction
  4. D.Cross-aldol condensation✓

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
