Matching Named Reactions with Reactants Formed from Organic Chemical Transformations
The major products obtained from the reactions in List-II are the reactants for the named reactions mentioned in List-I. Match List-I with List-II and choose the correct option.
Options
Step-by-Step Solution
To find the correct match between List-I (named reactions) and List-II (reactions yielding reactants for List-I), let us analyze the products formed in each reaction of List-II:
-
Reaction (1): This is a Clemmensen reduction that yields ethylbenzene.
-
Reaction (2): Oxidation of toluene yields benzoic acid (), which on treatment with thionyl chloride () produces benzoyl chloride ().
-
Reaction (3): This is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction that produces toluene.
-
Reaction (4): This is a diazotization reaction that produces benzenediazonium chloride.
-
Reaction (5): Reduction of phenol with zinc dust yields benzene.
Now, matching the reactants required for the named reactions in List-I:
-
(P) Etard reaction:
- Reactant required: Toluene () to form benzaldehyde using chromyl chloride ().
- Toluene is the product of reaction (3).
- Hence, .
-
(Q) Gattermann reaction:
- Reactant required: Benzenediazonium chloride () to form chlorobenzene or bromobenzene using copper powder and halogen acid ( or ).
- Benzenediazonium chloride is the product of reaction (4).
- Hence, .
-
(R) Gattermann-Koch reaction:
- Reactant required: Benzene () to form benzaldehyde using and in the presence of anhydrous .
- Benzene is the product of reaction (5).
- Hence, .
-
(S) Rosenmund reduction:
- Reactant required: Benzoyl chloride () to form benzaldehyde using .
- Benzoyl chloride is the product of reaction (2).
- Hence, .
Conclusion:
The correct match is:
This corresponds to Option D.
