Why chloral undergoes cannizzaro reaction?

Chloral does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction because the anion formed is very stable do to the electron withdrawing effect of the three chloro group attached to the alpha carbon. As a result cleavage takes place and the products formed initially are CCl3- and HCOOH. Then by maintaining Bronsted Lowry concept an hydride ion transfer takes place and the final products are chloroform and HCOO- ion.
