Which of the following reagents can be used to prepare benzaldehyde from toluene?

A

`CrO_(3)` in `(CH_(3)CO)_(2)O`

B

`K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) + "conc."H_(2)SO_(4)`

C

Hot alkaline `KMnO_(4)`

D

Conc. `HNO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) + conc. H_(2)SO_(4)`. Hot alkaline `KMnO_(4)` and conc. `HNO_(3)` will all oxidise toluene to benzoic acid while `CrO_(3)` in `CH_(3)(CO_(2)O)` (mild reagent) will oxidise toluene to benzaldehyde.
