Answer: (D)
Solution
Etard reaction (P): Oxidation of methyl group to aldehyde using CrO₂Cl₂. Requires toluene derivative → (3) gives toluene (acetophenone reduced)
Gattermann reaction (Q): Formylation using HCN/HCl with benzene diazonium salt → (4) gives diazonium salt
Gattermann-Koch reaction (R): Formylation of benzene using CO/HCl/AlCl₃ → (5) gives benzene (from phenol)
Rosenmund reduction (S): Reduction of acid chloride to aldehyde → (2) gives benzoyl chloride
Matching: P→3, Q→4, R→5, S→2
Answer: (D)
