Question

The oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde by chromyl chloride is called (A) Etard reaction (B) Riemer-Tiemann reaction (C) Wurtz reaction (D) Cannizzaro’s reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The oxidation of toluene ( C 6 H 5 CH 3. with chromyl chloride ( CRO 2 Cl 2) in CCl 4 or CS 2 to give benzaldehyde is called Etard reaction. In this reaction, the chromyl chloride first forms a brown complex, which is seperated and then decomposed with H 2 O to give benzaldehyde
