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 acid chlorides are converted to corresponding aldehydes by catalytic reduction. \[\underset{acid\,chloride}{\mathop{R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-Cl}}\,+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Pd,\,BaS{{O}_{4}}}\underset{aldehyde}{\mathop{R-CHO}}\,+HCl\]
