Q. Toluene on treatment with $ CrO_{3} $ and $ (CH_{3}CO)_{2}O $ followed by hydrolysis with dil $ HCl $ gives

UPSEEUPSEE 2008

Solution:

The reagent $CrO_{3} |(CH_{3}CO)_{2}O|H^{+}$ acts as oxidising agent and oxidises the side chain. Toluene on treatment with $CrO_{3}$ and $(CH_{3}CO)_{2}O$ followed by hydrolysis with dil $HCl$ gives benzaldehyde
