Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

P → 3; Q → 4; R → 5; S → 2

Solution :

The correct option is P → 3; Q → 4; R → 5; S → 2.


To match List-I (named reactions) with List-II (reactions yielding major products that serve as starting reactants), let us analyze the products formed in each reaction of List-II from the provided image:



Analysis of Reactions in List-II:


1. Acetophenone + Zn-Hg/HCl (Clemmensen Reduction):
Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) undergoes reduction to form ethylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH3).


2. Toluene + (i) KMnO4, KOH, Δ (ii) SOCl2:
First, oxidation of toluene yields benzoic acid (C6H5COOH). Subsequent treatment with thionyl chloride (SOCl2) converts benzoic acid into benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl).
Benzoyl chloride (C6H5COCl) is the starting reactant for the Rosenmund reduction (S → 2).


3. Benzene + CH3Cl / anhyd. AlCl3 (Friedel-Crafts Alkylation):
Reaction of benzene with methyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 forms toluene (C6H5CH3).
Toluene is the starting reactant for the Etard reaction, which oxidizes toluene to benzaldehyde using chromyl chloride (P → 3).


4. Aniline + NaNO2 / HCl at 273-278 K (Diazotization):
Diazotization of aniline yields benzene diazonium chloride (C6H5N2+Cl-).
Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with Cu/HCl or Cu/HBr to form haloarenes, which is known as the Gattermann reaction (Q → 4).


5. Phenol + Zn, Δ (Reduction):
Heating phenol with zinc dust yields benzene (C6H5).
Benzene is treated with CO and HCl in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3/CuCl to form benzaldehyde, which is known as the Gattermann-Koch reaction (R → 5).


Summary of Matching:

(P) Etard reaction → (3) Toluene (obtained from Benzene + CH3Cl / anhyd. AlCl3)
(Q) Gattermann reaction → (4) Benzene diazonium chloride (obtained from Aniline + NaNO2/HCl)
(R) Gattermann-Koch reaction → (5) Benzene (obtained from Phenol + Zn, Δ)
(S) Rosenmund reduction → (2) Benzoyl chloride (obtained from Toluene + KMnO4 then SOCl2)


Thus, the correct matching combination is P → 3; Q → 4; R → 5; S → 2.
