Which of the following, compounds is the reactant in Rosenmund's reduction?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CO}_2 \mathrm{H}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rosenmund's reduction involves the reduction of acid halide into aldehyde by means of \(\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{BaSO}_4\). \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl} \stackrel{\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{BaSO}_4}{\stackrel{\mathrm{H}_2}{\longrightarrow}} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}+\mathrm{HCl}\)
