The Gattermann-Koch reaction is used in the industrial preparation of benzaldehyde.
The electrophile involved in this reaction is:
- A \(CO ^{+}\)
- B \(HCl + CO _2+\) anhydrous \(AlCl _3\)
- C \(HCO ^{+}\)
- D \(CO\) + anhydrous \(AlCl _3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(HCO ^{+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In the Gattermann-Koch reaction, benzene is treated with carbon monoxide \((C O)\) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride (\(AlCl _3\)) or cuprous chloride (CuCl). 1. Generation of the Electrophile: The reaction between CO and HCl is thought…

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
In the periodic table, the d-block contains the elements of group \(3\) to \(12\). The d-orbitals are progressively filled in each of the four long periods. The elements of d block referred as transition metals have partly filled d orbitals and exhibit certain characteristic properties such as variety of oxidation states, formation of coloured ions, act as catalyst and show paramagnetic behaviour.
The two inner transition metals series \(4f\) and \(5f\) are known as Lanthanoids and Actinoids respectively. The lanthanoids resemble one another more closely as compared to ordinary transition elements in any series.
For the four successive transition elements given below, the stability of +2 oxidation state will be:
A. \(\operatorname{Cr}( Z =24)\)
B. \(Mn ( Z =25)\)
C. \(Fe ( Z =26)\)
D. \(Co ( Z =27)\)
