2The Cannizarro reaction is a base-catalyzed disproportionation of
aldehydes that have no \alpha -hydrogen (e.g., R = phenyl). Write a
mechanism for this reaction showing all electron pushing. Derive a kinetic
expression for your mechanism and predict the kinetic order in aldehyde and
hydroxide. What experiments would you perform to test the validity of your
mechanism?
