In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Vanillin has an aldehyde group → gives Tollens' test; it also has a phenolic 
deprotonates with NaOH. As an aromatic aldehyde (no 
), it does not undergo self-aldol; instead such aldehydes undergo Cannizzaro in strong base.
