  1. The Cannizzaro Reaction involves base-induced disproportionation reaction of an aldehyde into a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.  Formaldehyde (HCHO) undergoes a Cannizzaro reaction in the presence of basic catalysts including NaOH to produce formic acid (HCOOH) and methanol (CH3OH). See the two links below for more information include the reaction mechanism.

    Hope this helps!!!
