Answer the following.
How will you convert the following: (Give balanced equation) Benzoyl chloride to benzaldehyde…
Answer
Answer (i)
AIEquation: $\mathrm{C_{6}H_{5}COCl} + \mathrm{H_{2}} \xrightarrow{\text{Pd}\text{ }\text{/}\text{ }\mathrm{BaSO_{4}}} \mathrm{C_{6}H_{5}CHO} + \mathrm{HCl}$
Answer (ii)
AIEquations: $\mathrm{CH_{3}Cl} + \mathrm{KCN} \xrightarrow{\text{alcoholic}\text{ }\text{KCN}} \mathrm{CH_{3}CN} + \mathrm{KCl}$ $\mathrm{CH_{3}CN} + 2\mathrm{H_{2}O} \xrightarrow{\text{H+}\text{,}\text{ }\text{heat}} \mathrm{CH_{3}COOH} + \mathrm{NH_{3}}$
Answer (iii)
AIEquations: $\mathrm{CH_{3}COOH} + \mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH_{3}COONa} + \mathrm{H_{2}O}$ $\mathrm{CH_{3}COONa} + \mathrm{NaOH} \xrightarrow{\text{CaO}\text{,}\text{ }\text{heat}} \mathrm{CH_{4}} + \mathrm{Na_{2}CO_{3}}$
