A) Aldehydes are reduced to alcohols
B) Acids are converted to acid chlorides
C) Alcohols are reduced to hydrocarbons
D) Acid chlorides are reduced to aldehydes
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
In the Rosenmunds reaction add chlorides are converted to corresponding aldehydes by catalytic reduction. \[\underset{\text{acid}\,\text{chhloride}}{\mathop{R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-Cl+{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[S]{Pd,BaS{{O}_{4}}}\underset{\text{aldehyde}}{\mathop{R-CHO}}\,\,+HCl\]You need to login to perform this action.
