    1. When propanone reacts with NaBH4 it will form propan-2-ol.This alcohol is dehydrated to form propene.

    2. When benzoic acid is treated with SOCl2 it chlorinates the acid. After controlled hydrogenation it forms benzaldehyde

    3. When ethanol is treated with Cu at 573 k, it will oxidize to ethanal. When ethanal is treated with Dil.NaOH it will form 3-Hydroxy butanal

    4. After frieadal craft acylation of benzene it will convert into acyl benzene. And further treating with nitrating mixture it forms m-nitroaceto phenone .

    5. When benzaldehyde is oxidized with dichromate and treated with calcium carbonate it forms calcium salt. And after dry di
