Q8.15(vii):
How will you bring about the following conversions in not more than two steps?
(vii) Benzaldehyde to 3-Phenylpropan-1-ol
Solution :
Step 1: Aldol-like Condensation (Claisen-Schmidt Condensation)
To convert Benzaldehyde ($C_6H_5CHO$) to a three-carbon side chain derivative, we must perform a condensation reaction to increase the carbon count. We react Benzaldehyde with Malonic acid ($CH_2(COOH)_2$) in the presence of pyridine. This is a variant of the Knoevenagel condensation which specifically targets the formation of an unsaturated acid.
$C_6H_5CHO + CH_2(COOH)_2 \xrightarrow{\text{Pyridine, } \Delta} C_6H_5CH=CHCOOH + H_2O + CO_2$ [Mechanism: Nucleophilic attack of the active methylene carbon on the carbonyl carbon, followed by dehydration and decarboxylation]
Step 2: Reduction of Cinnamic Acid
The resulting compound, Cinnamic acid ($C_6H_5CH=CHCOOH$), contains both an alkene group and a carboxylic acid group. To obtain 3-Phenylpropan-1-ol ($C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$), we require a powerful reducing agent capable of reducing both functional groups simultaneously without cleaving the aromatic ring.
$C_6H_5CH=CHCOOH \xrightarrow{LiAlH_4 \text{ / Ether, then } H_3O^+} C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$ [Justification: Lithium Aluminum Hydride ($LiAlH_4$) is a strong selective reducing agent that reduces carboxylic acids to primary alcohols and hydrogenates conjugated double bonds in the presence of an aromatic system]
Reaction Schematic
Summary of Transformation Parameters
| Stage | Reagent | Transformation Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Malonic acid/Pyridine | Condensation/Decarboxylation |
| 2 | $LiAlH_4$ | Complete Reduction |
Final Solution: Benzaldehyde is converted to Cinnamic acid via condensation with Malonic acid, followed by reduction with Lithium Aluminum Hydride ($LiAlH_4$) to yield 3-Phenylpropan-1-ol.

I am a Physics educator with 24+ years of teaching experience, specializing in CBSE, ISC, State Boards, and Class 12 Physics. Over the years, I have taught 100,000+ students, helping them build strong conceptual foundations and achieve excellent results in Board examinations as well as competitive entrance tests. My approach to teaching is simple: make every concept easy to understand, regardless of a student's current level. I focus on building strong fundamentals first, followed by numerical problem-solving, derivations, practical applications, and exam-oriented preparation. This enables students to perform confidently in both Board examinations and entrance exams like JEE Main and NEET. My classes include: complete Class 12 Physics syllabus; chapter-wise concept building and numericals; Board-oriented derivations and theory preparation; Previous Years' Questions (PYQs) and sample papers; regular tests, assignments, and performance analysis; personalized doubt-solving and revision sessions; premium study materials and handwritten notes. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to suit each student's pace and learning needs. My objective is not only to help students score excellent marks in Class 12 but also to develop a deep understanding of Physics that prepares them for future academic success.
