Step 1: Understanding the reaction sequence 1. Gattermann-Koch reaction:
The first step involves CO, HCl, and CuCl, leading to the formation of benzaldehyde. 2. Cannizzaro reaction:
Strong base (NaOH) induces disproportionation, producing hydroxybenzyl benzoate and sodium benzoate.
Chlorobenzene to biphenyl
