When benzene is treated with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride, benzaldehyde is formed. The reaction is known as

  • A.Etard reaction
  • B.Stephen reaction
  • C.Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction
  • D.Gatterman-Koch reaction
  • E.Aldol reaction.

Answer: D

It is the Gatterman-Koch reaction.

Benzene treated with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride in the presence of anhydrous \(AlCl_{3}\) (often with CuCl) gives benzaldehyde. This formylation is the Gattermann-Koch reaction.

The Etard reaction oxidises toluene with chromyl chloride; the Stephen reaction reduces nitriles with \(SnCl_{2}/HCl\); the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction halogenates the alpha carbon of acids; the aldol reaction joins two carbonyl compounds.
