(a) When Acetal chloride is reduced by hydrogen in presence of barium sulphate associated with paladium metal, acetaldehyde is obtained.
CH3−COCl+2HPd−−−−−→BaSO4CH3CHO+HCl
(b) When benzaldehyde is boiled with 45% solution of NaOH, sodium benzoate and Benzyol alcohol are obtained.
2C6H5CHO+NaOH→C6H5COONa+C6H5CH2OH
Benzaldehyde Sodium Benzoate Benzyol alcohol
(c) When ammonia reacts with formaldehyde urotropine is obtained
6HCHO+4NH3→(CH2)6N4+6H2O
Formaldehyde Urotropine
(d) When acetic acid reacts with PCl5, produces acetyl chloride.
CH3COOH+PCl5→CH3COCl+POCl3+HCl
