Identify the reactant.
A) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]
B) \[HCHO\]
C) \[CO\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
This reaction is known as Gattermanrs-Koch 1 reaction. Benzaldehyde may be synthesised by bubbling a mixture of \[CO\] arid \[HCl\] through a solution of benzene, and a catalyst consisting of \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] and a small amount of cuprous chloride \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}+CO+HCl\xrightarrow{AlC{{l}_{3}}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO+HCl\]
