Intramolecular cannizzaro reaction
« on: December 10, 2019, 12:17:02 PM »
Is this the correct final product? Or will it further undergo cannizzaro and rest of the aldehydes will also be converted to acid and alcohol?

I think you will get a 2 isomers, if all groups react.

Is there any chance of forming an ester?  I think that it is unlikely, but proximity helps.
