Evaluate the following synthetic procedures: 1. Reaction of Dialkyl cadmium with Acyl chloride. 2. R — Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

1. Dialkyl cadmium + acyl chloride $\rightarrow$ Ketone. 2. Rosenmund $\rightarrow$ Aldehyde. 3. Stephen's $\rightarrow$ Aldehyde. 4. Hydration of ethyne $\rightarrow$ Acetaldehyde (an aldehyde). 5. Wacker process on propene (or any alkene other than ethene) $\rightarrow$ Ketone (Acetone). Thus, exactly 2 processes yield ketones.
