In this sequence of reaction three times aldol reaction occurs first than cross Cannizaro reaction takes place as follows

C H_{3} - CHO + 3HCHO \overset{O H^{-} Aldol condensation (3times)}{\to} {(C H_{2} O H)}_{3} - C - CHO

{(C H_{2} O H)}_{3} - C - CHO \overset{O H^{-} Cross cannizzaro reaction}{\to} C - {(C H_{2} O H)}_{4}
