List-I (Name of Reaction)

List-II (Reagents)

(A) Stephens reaction

(III) $SnCl_2, HCl$

(B) Rosenmund reduction

(IV) $H_2/Pd-BaSO_4$

(C) Etard reaction

(I) $CrO_2Cl_2/CS_2$

(D) Friedel Craft acylation

(II) Acyl chloride and anhyd. $AlCl_3$

  • (A) Stephen Reaction: This reaction involves the reduction of nitriles to imines using stannous chloride ($SnCl_2$) and hydrochloric acid ($HCl$), which are then hydrolyzed to form aldehydes.
    • Match: (A)-(III)
  • (B) Rosenmund Reduction: In this process, acyl chlorides are selectively reduced to aldehydes by hydrogenation with hydrogen gas ($H_2$) over a palladium catalyst supported on barium sulfate ($Pd-BaSO_4$).
    • Match: (B)-(IV)
  • (C) Etard Reaction: This is an oxidation reaction where the methyl group of an aromatic ring (like toluene) is converted to an aldehyde group using chromyl chloride ($CrO_2Cl_2$) in a solvent like carbon disulfide ($CS_2$).
    • Match: (C)-(I)
  • (D) Friedel-Crafts Acylation: This reaction introduces an acyl group into an aromatic ring by reacting it with an acyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride ($AlCl_3$), which acts as a Lewis acid catalyst.
    • Match: (D)-(II)
