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:

  1. Reaction (1): Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3)Zn-Hg, HClEthylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH3)\text{Acetophenone } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCH}_3) \xrightarrow{\text{Zn-Hg, HCl}} \text{Ethylbenzene } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3) This is a Clemmensen reduction that yields ethylbenzene.

  2. Reaction (2): Toluene (C6H5CH3)(ii) SOCl2(i) KMnO4, KOH,ΔBenzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl)\text{Toluene } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_3) \xrightarrow[\text{(ii) SOCl}_2]{\text{(i) KMnO}_4, \text{ KOH}, \Delta} \text{Benzoyl chloride } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl}) Oxidation of toluene yields benzoic acid (C6H5COOH\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOH}), which on treatment with thionyl chloride (SOCl2\text{SOCl}_2) produces benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl}).

  3. Reaction (3): Benzene (C6H6)anhyd. AlCl3CH3ClToluene (C6H5CH3)\text{Benzene } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_6) \xrightarrow[\text{anhyd. AlCl}_3]{\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}} \text{Toluene } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_3) This is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction that produces toluene.

  4. Reaction (4): Aniline (C6H5NH2)273278 KNaNO2/HClBenzenediazonium chloride (C6H5N2+Cl)\text{Aniline } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2) \xrightarrow[273-278\text{ K}]{\text{NaNO}_2/\text{HCl}} \text{Benzenediazonium chloride } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^-) This is a diazotization reaction that produces benzenediazonium chloride.

  5. Reaction (5): Phenol (C6H5OH)Zn, ΔBenzene (C6H6)\text{Phenol } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}) \xrightarrow{\text{Zn, } \Delta} \text{Benzene } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_6) 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 (C6H5CH3\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_3) to form benzaldehyde using chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2\text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2).
    • Toluene is the product of reaction (3).
    • Hence, P3\text{P} \rightarrow 3.
  • (Q) Gattermann reaction:

    • Reactant required: Benzenediazonium chloride (C6H5N2+Cl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^-) to form chlorobenzene or bromobenzene using copper powder and halogen acid (Cu/HCl\text{Cu/HCl} or Cu/HBr\text{Cu/HBr}).
    • Benzenediazonium chloride is the product of reaction (4).
    • Hence, Q4\text{Q} \rightarrow 4.
  • (R) Gattermann-Koch reaction:

    • Reactant required: Benzene (C6H6\text{C}_6\text{H}_6) to form benzaldehyde using CO\text{CO} and HCl\text{HCl} in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3/CuCl\text{AlCl}_3/\text{CuCl}.
    • Benzene is the product of reaction (5).
    • Hence, R5\text{R} \rightarrow 5.
  • (S) Rosenmund reduction:

    • Reactant required: Benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COCl}) to form benzaldehyde using H2/Pd-BaSO4\text{H}_2/\text{Pd-BaSO}_4.
    • Benzoyl chloride is the product of reaction (2).
    • Hence, S2\text{S} \rightarrow 2.

Conclusion:

The correct match is: P3;Q4;R5;S2\text{P} \rightarrow 3; \quad \text{Q} \rightarrow 4; \quad \text{R} \rightarrow 5; \quad \text{S} \rightarrow 2

This corresponds to Option D.
