“Crossed Cannizzaro reaction” is not commonly used in organic chemistry, it is possible to consider a scenario where two different aldehydes undergo Cannizzaro reactions simultaneously in the presence of a common strong base. In this context, the term “crossed Cannizzaro reaction” can be used to describe the simultaneous disproportionation of two different aldehydes.
