    Which of the following reagents can be used to prepare benzaldehyde from toluene?

    A)  \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\] in \[{{(C{{H}_{3}}CO)}_{2}}O\]

    B)  \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] + cone. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  Hot alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  Conc. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{{k}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}+conc.\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}},\]hot alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] and cone. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\] will all oxidise toluene to benzoic acid while \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\] in \[{{(C{{H}_{3}}CO)}_{2}}O\] will oxidise toluene to only benzaldehyde.
