Which of the following catalyst is used in Rosenmund reaction?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CS}_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Pd}-\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{V}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Pd}-\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When benzoyl chloride is hydrogenated in the presence palladium on barium sulphate \(\left(\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{BaSO}_{4}\right)\), benzaldehyde is obtained. This reaction is called Rosenmund reduction.
