Q. Which of the following reactions will not result in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds?

A) Friedel-Crafts acylation
B) Reimer-Tiemann reaction
C) Cannizzaro reaction
D) Wurtz reaction
Explanation

[Solution from source] The Cannizzaro reaction is a disproportionation of an aldehyde into an alcohol and a carboxylate by hydride transfer; no new C–C bond is formed. Friedel–Crafts acylation, Reimer–Tiemann (ring –CHO) and Wurtz coupling all make new C–C bonds. Answer (3).
