Chromyl chloride converts methyl group to a chromium complex, which on acid hydrolysis gives corresponding aldehyde. This reaction is called
- A Stephen reaction
- B Wolff-Kishner reaction
- C Etard reaction
- D Rosenmund reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Etard reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When toluene is treated with solution of chromyl chloride \(\left(\mathrm{CrO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)\) in \(\mathrm{CS}_{2}\), brown chrominum complex is obtained, which on acid hydrolysis gives benzaldehyde. This reaction is called Etard reaction.
