The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is Toluene, which has the molecular formula \( C_6H_5CH_3 \). This compound consists of a benzene ring with a methyl group attached. ### Step 2: Reaction with \( CrO_2Cl_2 \) When Toluene reacts with \( CrO_2Cl_2 \) in carbon disulfide (\( CS_2 \)), it undergoes an oxidation reaction. The methyl group (\(-CH_3\)) is oxidized to a carbonyl group (\(C=O\)), leading to the formation of a compound known as benzaldehyde. The reaction can be summarized as follows: \[ C_6H_5CH_3 \xrightarrow{CrO_2Cl_2} C_6H_5CHO \] Here, \( A \) is the product formed after the oxidation, which is benzaldehyde (\( C_6H_5CHO \)). ### Step 3: Hydrolysis of \( A \) Next, the compound \( A \) (benzaldehyde) undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of water. However, since benzaldehyde is already an aldehyde, it does not change further upon hydrolysis. Therefore, the product \( B \) remains benzaldehyde. ### Step 4: Identify the functional group in \( B \) The functional group present in \( B \) is the aldehyde group (\(-CHO\)). ### Step 5: Name the reaction The reaction that converts Toluene to benzaldehyde is known as the **Ettard reaction**. ### Final Answer - The functional group present in \( B \) is the aldehyde group (\(-CHO\)). - The name of the reaction is the **Ettard reaction**. ---
