O
H2
Pd-BaSO4 → P

Accepted Answer

RCHO. The reaction involves the Rosenmund reduction, where an acyl chloride (RCOCl) is reduced to an aldehyde (RCHO) using H2 and Pd-BaSO4 as a catalyst. The BaSO4 prevents over-reduction to alcohol.

In the following reaction, product 'P' is: R—C—Cl || O H2 Pd-BaSO4 → P
