Question

convert benzoil chloride to toluene​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Absence of other reagents means nothing else there, not necessarily an inert atmosphere. Just dont add anything else apart from toluene and Ca(OCl)2.

Just mind the point

If more bleaching powder is used, the conversion is more robust, but contaminants such as benzyl chloride and benzotrichloride are formed

So your reaction is:

2(Toluene) + Ca(OCl)2 --> 2(benzyl chloride) + Ca(OH)2

Note: is this synth supposed to say chlorotoluene instead of

contaminants such as benzyl chloride

???

Its just my opinion, but no-one listens to me anyway, and rightly so...
