Disproportionation of aromatic aldehydes into aromatic acids and aromatic alcohols.
The speed of the reaction depends on the substituents in the aromatic ring.
Crossing reaction (reaction of Rodionov and Fedorova) - using two different aldehydes (aromatic and aliphatic). Usually, fomaldehyde and alcohol are produced.
Intramolecular rearrangment reaction (also known as Cannizzaro's rearrangment) - transformation of alpha-ketoaldehydes into alpha-oxyacids.
Lock variant - transformation of aldehydes into acids using bases.
