Question

Match the reagents in List-I with the corresponding reactions in List-II:

List-I (Reagent) A. H2,PdBaSO4H_2, Pd-BaSO_4 B. (i) CrO2Cl2,CS2CrO_2Cl_2, CS_2 (ii) H2O/H+H_2O/H^+ C. CO,HCl,Anhyd. AlCl3/CuClCO, HCl, \text{Anhyd. } AlCl_3/CuCl D. CHCl3,NaOHCHCl_3, NaOH

List-II (Name of the reaction) I. Gattermann-Koch reaction II. Reimer-Tiemann reaction III. Etard reaction IV. Rosenmund reduction

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A

A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

B

A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

C

A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

D

A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's match the reagents with their corresponding name reactions:

  1. H2H_2 in the presence of PdBaSO4Pd-BaSO_4 is the catalytic reagent used in the Rosenmund reduction to reduce acid chlorides to aldehydes (A → IV).
  2. Chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2CrO_2Cl_2) in CS2CS_2 followed by acid hydrolysis (H2O/H+H_2O/H^+) is used in the Etard reaction to oxidize toluene to benzaldehyde (B → III).
  3. Carbon monoxide (COCO) and HClHCl gas in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3/CuClAlCl_3/CuCl are used in the Gattermann-Koch reaction to form benzaldehyde from benzene (C → I).
  4. Chloroform (CHCl3CHCl_3) and aqueous NaOHNaOH are the reagents for the Reimer-Tiemann reaction, which converts phenol into salicylaldehyde (D → II).

Therefore, the correct matching sequence is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
