List-I

List-II
(I) Etard reaction
(II) Gatterman–Koch reaction
(III) Rosenmund reduction
(IV) Stephen reaction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A
(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- B
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- C
(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
- D
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Solution
Identify each named reaction:
- (A) Reduction of a nitrile to an aldehyde using anhydrous followed by hydrolysis is the Stephen reaction (IV).
- (B) Catalytic hydrogenation of an acyl chloride with - (poisoned catalyst) to give an aldehyde without over-reduction is the Rosenmund reduction (III).
- (C) Oxidation of a methyl-substituted arene by chromyl chloride () in , followed by hydrolysis of the chromium complex, is the Etard reaction (I).
- (D) Formylation of benzene with in the presence of anhydrous (often with ) is the Gatterman–Koch reaction (II).
Match: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
Correct option: (1)
