Which of the following reagents will not convert Toluene into Benzaldehyde?

  1. A \(CrO _2 Cl _2\)
  2. B \(CrO _3\)
  3. C \(Cl _2 /\) light, \(H _2 O\)
  4. D \(CO / HCl\) in presence of \(AlCl _3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(CO / HCl\) in presence of \(AlCl _3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CO / HCl\) in presence of \(AlCl_3\) is the Gattermann-Koch reaction, which formylates an aromatic ring directly, typically producing p-methylbenzaldehyde from toluene, not benzaldehyde.
