Question

Explain Rosenmund's reduction of benzoyl chloride.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

The Rosenmund reduction is a hydrogenation process in which an acyl chloride is selectively reduced to an aldehyde. The reaction was named after Karl Wilhelm Rosenmund who first reported it.

So, benzoyl chloride is reduced to benzaldehyde in presence of PdBaSO4 and H2.
