Benzyl Alcohol and Benzoic Acid from Benzaldehyde and Strong Potash (Cannizzaro, Gattermann 1914)
Strong potash splits benzaldehyde in two: half is reduced to benzyl alcohol, half oxidised to benzoic acid (as potassium benzoate). 20 g of benzaldehyde gives about 8 g of benzyl alcohol, boiling at 206 °C; the benzoic acid is thrown down with hydrochloric acid.
Not given: the volumes of water and ether, the amount of hydrochloric acid and the benzoic acid yield.
