What are X, Y, Z in the following reaction sequence respectively?
Show Hint
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
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.
