MCQ
Phenylmethanol can be prepared by reducing the benzaldehyde with
  • A
    $C{H_3}Br$
  • $Zn$ and $HCl$
  • C
    $C{H_3}Br$ and $Na$
  • D
    $C{H_3}I$ and $Mg$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Zn$ and $HCl$
b
Phenylmethanol can be prepared from benzaldehyde by treating it with zinc in presence of $HCl$. This is categorised as a reduction reaction as hydrogen is added to the molecule during this reaction.Given below is the chemical reaction for the same.
