Identify the name reaction. [figure]
- Stephen Reaction
- Etard Reaction
- Gattermann - Koch Reaction
- Rosenmund Reduction
Answer
(3) Gattermann - Koch Reaction
Solution
Benzene + CO + HCl (anhyd. AlCl3/CuCl) → benzaldehyde: direct formylation = Gattermann–Koch reaction
∵ CO + HCl give HCOCl in situ; AlCl3 converts it into the electrophile H C=O
Option (A) Stephen: RCN SnCl2/HCl, H3O+ RCHO
Option (B) Etard: C6H5CH3 CrO2Cl2, H3O+ C6H5CHO
Option (D) Rosenmund: RCOCl H2/Pd-BaSO4 RCHO
