Question

The number of correct reaction(s) among the following is ________.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1

Analyze Each Reaction:

Reaction (A): The reaction conditions suggest Friedel-Crafts acylation using anhydrous \( \text{AlCl}_3 \) and a carboxylic acid chloride. This reaction should proceed correctly, forming the expected acylated aromatic product.

Reaction (B): In this reaction, \( \text{Pd/BaSO}_4 \) (Rosenmund reduction conditions) is used to reduce an acyl chloride to an aldehyde. This reaction is incorrect.

Reaction (C): This reaction involves a carboxylic acid reacting with CO and HCl under anhydrous conditions with \( \text{AlCl}_3 \) or CuCl. However, this is not a standard reaction for carboxylic acid conversion to an acyl chloride under these conditions, so this reaction is incorrect.

Reaction (D): The conditions involve the reaction of a benzene derivative with \( \text{CONH}_2 \) and HCl. However, these reagents are not compatible with producing an expected product under the given conditions, making this reaction incorrect.

Conclusion:

Only Reaction (A) is correct among the given reactions. Therefore, the number of correct reactions is 1, corresponding to Option (1).
