Answer

Benzaldehyde

Explanation

Solution

The reaction sequence is as follows:

  1. 1-bromopropane dimerizes via Wurtz reaction to form n-hexane.
  2. n-hexane cyclizes and dehydrogenates (aromatization) to yield benzene.
  3. Benzene undergoes formylation via Gattermann-Koch reaction to produce benzaldehyde.
