    Aldehyde Synthesis from Acid Chlorides

    • Two methods exist for synthesizing aldehydes from acid chlorides: lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminum hydride reduction and Rosenmund reduction.
    • The Rosenmund reduction uses hydrogen gas (H₂) and a palladium catalyst supported on barium sulfate (Pd/BaSO₄) to convert acid chlorides (R-C(=O)-Cl) to aldehydes (R-C(=O)H).
    • The barium sulfate (BaSO₄) acts as a catalyst support and helps control the reaction, preventing further reduction of the aldehyde to an alcohol.
    • The Rosenmund reduction is a specific and selective reaction for aldehyde synthesis.
