4-Methylpent-1-ene (CH₂\=CHCH₂CH(CH₃)₂) cleaves at the double bond, forming methanal (HCHO) and 3-methylbutanal ((CH₃)₂CHCH₂CHO).
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 12: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids > Topic: Reactions due to α-Hydrogen - Aldol, Cannizzaro and Acidity of Carboxylic Acids
Methanal (HCHO) lacks α-hydrogens, so it undergoes Cannizzaro reaction, forming methanol (CH₃OH) and formate ion.
