Q. Propanoyl chloride is subjected to reduction with $H_2$ in boiling xylene in the presence of Pd supported on $BaSO_4$. The product formed is

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$\underset{\text{Propanoyl chloride}}{H_3C - CH_2 - \overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C} - Cl } + H_2 \xrightarrow[\Delta - HCl]{Pd/BaSO_4} $
$\underset{\overset{\text{Propanal }}{\text{(Rosenmund’s Reduction)}}}{H_3C - CH_2 - \overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}} H$
