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. \[\underset{acid\,\,chloride}{\mathop{R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ |\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-Cl+{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Pd,\,\,BaS{{O}_{4}}}\underset{aldehyde}{\mathop{R-CHO}}\,+HCl\]You need to login to perform this action.
