(I) Etard reaction

(II) Gatterman–Koch reaction

(III) Rosenmund reduction

(IV) Stephen reaction

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A

    (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

  2. B

    (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

  3. C

    (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

  4. 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)
