    The catalyst used in Rosenmund reaction is:

    A)  \[Zn/Hg\]       

    B)  \[Pd/BaS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  Raney \[Ni\]      

    D)  \[Na\] in ethanol

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     In the Rosenmunds reaction the acid chlorides are converted to corresponding aldehydes by catalytic reaction. This reaction is carried in the presence of palladium deposited over barium sulphate.        \[\underset{acetyl\,\,chloride}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-Cl+{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Pd.\,\,BaS{{O}_{4}}}\underset{acetaldehyde}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,+HCl\]
