JEE Main Chemistry question
Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus
Which catalyst is matched according to its name and function? Catalyst: ; ; ; Name: Fenton's reagent; Ziegler–Natta; Lindlar; Adams' Function: Oxidation of alcohols; Polythene preparation; Hydrogenation to give cis-alkene; Synthesis of
Answer: (C)
Solution
(with an aluminium-alkyl co-catalyst) is actually the Ziegler–Natta catalyst used for polythene preparation, and is actually Fenton's reagent, an oxidising agent — so (a) and (b) have their names swapped. Adams' catalyst () is a
