Tischenko Reaction | Complete Mechanism | Aldehyde Disproportionation | Cannizzaro like mechanism

In this video complete mechanism of Tischenko reaction is discussed. Which is catalyzed by aluminium alkoxides. The mechanism is similar to Cannizzaro reaction mechanism. 1,3- hydride shift is the key step. Ester is the final product. Books consulted: 1.
