Hello,


Analdol condensationis areaction in organic chemistry in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a -hydroxyaldehyde or -hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.
Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, because they provide a good way to form carbon - carbon bonds.

The Cannizzaro reaction,is a chemical reaction that involves the base-induced disproportionation of two molecules of a non enolizable aldehyde to give a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid. Cannizzaro Reaction Mechanism details the method to get one molecule of alcohol and one molecule of carboxylic acid from two molecules of given aldehyde.

I hope this helps
