An aromatic aldehyde (A) of molecular C_7H_6Oreacts with acidified KMnO_4 to give (B) of molecular formula C_7H_6O_2 , calcium salt' of compound (B) on dry distillation gives (C) of molecular formula C_13H_10 O. Compound (C) on Clemmenson's reduction, gives (D) of formula C_13H_12O.Identify A,B,C,D and explain the reaction involved. |
Answer» Solution : (i)From the MOLECULAR FORMULA (A) is identified as Benzaldehyde `C_6H_5CHO` .Benzaldehyde on reaction with acidified `KMnO_4`undergoes oxidation to give BENZOIC acid as compound (B)
