The incorrect method to synthesize benzaldehyde is

  1. [figure] , CH3MgBr, followed by H3O+
  2. [figure] , H2, Pd-BaSO4
  3. [figure] , DIBAL-H, followed by H2O
  4. [figure] , CrO2Cl2 in CS2, followed by H3O+

Answer

(1) [figure] , CH3MgBr, followed by H3O+

Solution

(1) A Grignard reagent adds to a nitrile; hydrolysis of the imine gives a ketone:

[figure]

The product is acetophenone, not benzaldehyde — incorrect method.

(2) Benzoyl chloride + H2 / Pd-BaSO4 benzaldehyde (Rosenmund reduction) — correct.

(3) Ethyl benzoate + DIBAL-H, then H2O benzaldehyde — correct (as per NCERT, esters are reduced to aldehydes by DIBAL-H).

(4) Toluene + CrO2Cl2 in CS2 chromium complex H3O+ benzaldehyde (Etard reaction) — correct.

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their

  1. formation of intramolecular H-bonding
  2. formation of carboxylate ion
  3. more extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der Waals' forces of attraction
  4. formation of intermolecular H-bonding
