Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Vanillin will react with NaOH and also with Tollen's reagent. Statement (II) : Vanillin will undergo self aldol condensation very easily. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Solution
Phenolic group soluble in NaOH Benzaldehyde derivative react with Tollen's reagent. Vanillin does not give self-aldol reaction due to lack of acidic H for condensation.
