‘Benzamide on reaction’ with \bold{\mathrm{POCl}_{3}} gives Benzonitrile.

Option: D

Explanation:  

  • \mathrm{POCl}_{3} is a strong dehydrating agent. Benzamide contain an amide group that is a carboxyl group is attached to an amine group. So on decarboxylation the carboxyl group gets removed along with the two hydrogen atoms of amine group.  
  • So the resultant compound so formed is known as benzonitrile where there is a single nitrite attached to the extended benzene bond by unsaturated bond. This is an example of ‘dehydration reaction’.
