I wish India had such teachers. Huge respect to u sir..😊

I remember from orgo 1 that after a carbonyl group is attacked, it gets reformed by expelling an atom but I am pretty sure that a hydrogen atom (hydride ion) or a carbon atom shouldn't be expelled. I think I read this rule from "Organic chemistry as a second language" so my question is why in this reaction can we expell a hydrogen? Great content as always.

What is the difference that occurs when sodium hydroxide base and potassium hydroxide are used in the cannizzal reaction and how can the products of the reaction be separated

🤔 so it wont ended with two alcohol ? why the O- wont ended up same way as the other alcohol?

[shiva]

So further co2 and benzene ring will also be formed?
