    \[RCOCl+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Pd/BaS{{O}_{4}}}RCHO+HCl\] This reaction is known as

    A)  Rosenmunds reaction

    B)  Stephens reaction

    C)  Meerwein Ponndorf verley reduction

    D)  Clemmensens reduction

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Acid chlorides on reduction with hydrogen in presence of Pd suspended in BaS04 produce aldehyde. This reaction is known as Rosenmunds reaction. \[\underset{acid\text{ }chloride}{\mathop{R\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,Cl}}\,+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Pd-BaS{{O}_{4}}}\underset{alkanal}{\mathop{R\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H}}\,+HCl\]
