Question: In the following reaction
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$ and ${ }^{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{BuOH}$
$\mathrm{HCHO}$ and $\mathrm{MeOH}$
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$ and $\mathrm{MeOH}$
$\mathrm{HCHO}$ and ${ }^{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{BuOH}$
Correct Option: , 2
Solution:
Best combination is HCHO (more reactive aldehyde) and $\mathrm{MeOH}$ (less sterically hindered alcohol).
