Question
ICSEENICH12029182

an organic compound A has the molecular formula C7H6O. When A is treated with NaoH followed by acid hydrolysis, it gives two products B and C. When B is oxidized it gives A, When A and C are each treated separately with PCl5, they give two different products D and E.

i) Identify A,B,C,D and E.
ii) Give the chemical reaction when A is treated with NaOH and name the reaction.

Solution

i) Compound A: Benzaldehyde

Compound B: Benzoic acid

Compound C: Benzoyl alcohol

Compound D: Geminal dihalide

Compound E: Benzoyl chloride 
ii) When benzaldehyde reacts with NaOH it gives Benzoic acid ;( Cannizzaro reaction )
2C6H5CHO +NaOH ----> C6H5COOH + C6H5COONa
