The correct sequence of reagents for the preparation of $Q$ and $R$ is :

(1) (i) $Cr_2 O_3, 770 K, 20 atm$;

(ii) $CrO_2 Cl_2, H_3 O^{+}$;

(iii) $NaOH$;

(iv) $H_3 O^{+}$

(2) (i) $CrO_2 Cl_2, H_3 O^{+}$; (ii) $Cr_2 O_3, 770 K, 20 atm$;

(iii) $NaOH$; (iv) $H_3 O^{+}$

(3) (i) $KMnO_4, OH^{-}$; (ii) $Mo_2 O_3, A$; (iii) $NaOH$; (iv) $H_3 O^{+}$

(4) (i) $Mo_2 O_3, \Delta$; (ii) $CrO_2 Cl_2, H_3 O^{+}$; (iii) $NaOH$; (iv) $H_3 O^{+}$

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Formula: Cannizzaro Reaction

$\widehat{(P)}$

$\xrightarrow{\text{ (i) } Cr_2 O_3, 770 K, 20 atm}$

$\overbrace0^{CH}$

$\xrightarrow[H_3 O]{\text{ (ii) } CrO_2 Cl_2}$

(iii) $NaOH \lvert, \begin{aligned} & \text{ Cannizaro } \\ & \text{ Reaction }\end{aligned}.$

0

(iv) $H_3 O$

$COOH \quad CH_2 OH$

(Q) (R)
