Gatterman-Koch reaction shown below is used to attach a formyl (-CHO) group to benzene or alkyl substituted benzenes. CH₂ CO, HCI AICI; Gatterman Koch formylation CH₂ However, aromatic aldehydes can be prepared in a roundabout route. Propose a synthesis of benzaldehyde starting from benzene and acetyl chloride. This is a 5 step synthesis. (5 points) HINT: Use retrosynthetic analysis. Gatterman-Koch reaction shown below is used to attach a formyl (-CHO) group to benzene or alkyl substituted benzenes.
