Explain the following reactions:
Stephan reaction

उत्तर
This reaction is used to synthesize aldehydes from nitriles or cyanides. Firstly, nitriles or cyanides are reduced in presence of stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate solvent to form imine intermediate. Then hydrolysis of this intermediate with water gives the corresponding aldehyde.
\[\ce{CH3 - C ≡ N + 2[H] ->[SnCl2/HCl][Ether] CH3 - CH = NH + HCl ->[H2O/H^+] \underset{Acetaldehyde}{CH3CHO} + NH4Cl}\]

When 0.4 g of acetic acid is dissolved in 40 g of benzene, the freezing point of the solution is lowered by 0.45 K. Calculate the degree of association of acetic acid. Acetic acid forms dimer when dissolved in benzene.

Aldehydes are prepared by reducing nitriles to corresponding imines with stannous chloride in the presence of hydrochloric acid. This reaction is called:
