Q. Match List - I with List - II.

List – I
Reagents

A. H₂, Pd–BaSO₄
B. SnCl₂, HCl
C. CrO₂Cl₂, CS₂
D. CO, HCl, Anhyd. AlCl₃

List – II
Reaction Name (Involving aldehydes)

I. Etard Reaction
II. Rosenmund Reduction
III. Gattermann–Koch Reaction
IV. Stephen Reaction

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
C. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
D. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
Correct Answer: D

Explanation (Complete Concept Clarity)

A. H₂, Pd–BaSO₄

This is the poisoned catalyst used in Rosenmund reduction. It converts acid chlorides into aldehydes selectively.

Therefore, A → II (Rosenmund Reduction).

B. SnCl₂, HCl

This reagent reduces nitriles to iminium salt which on hydrolysis gives aldehyde. This is Stephen reaction.

Therefore, B → IV (Stephen Reaction).

C. CrO₂Cl₂, CS₂

This reagent oxidizes toluene and substituted toluenes to benzaldehyde. This is Etard reaction.

Therefore, C → I (Etard Reaction).

D. CO, HCl, Anhyd. AlCl₃

This reagent combination is used in formylation of aromatic ring to give aldehyde. This is Gattermann–Koch reaction.

Therefore, D → III (Gattermann–Koch Reaction).

Final Matching:

A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Correct Option: D
