उत्तर
Explanation:
Benzaldehyde on treatment with KOH yields the corresponding alcohol and acid. In this reaction, there is no alpha hydrogen atom present in benzaldehyde. Hence, it undergoes Cannizzaro reaction in which one molecule is oxidized to benzoic acid and other molecule is reduced to benzyl alcohol.
