Question:medium

The reaction of benzene with CO and HCl in the presence of anhydrous AlCl\(_3\) gives a compound X. X can also be obtained from which of the following reaction?

Show Hint

Remember these key named reactions for preparing benzaldehyde: - \textbf{Gattermann-Koch:} Benzene + CO/HCl + AlCl\(_3\)/CuCl. - \textbf{Gattermann:} Benzene + HCN/HCl + AlCl\(_3\). - \textbf{Rosenmund Reduction:} Benzoyl chloride + H\(_2\)/Pd-BaSO\(_4\). - \textbf{Stephen Reaction:} Benzonitrile + SnCl\(_2\)/HCl, then hydrolysis. - \textbf{Etard Reaction:} Toluene + CrO\(_2\)Cl\(_2\).
