Abstract
The organo-base, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine, mediates the Cannizzaro reaction of reactive aromatic aldehydes in water thus providing the corresponding alcohols and acids. Application of formaldehyde as a sacrificial aldehyde for the cross-Cannizzaro reaction is also presented. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
