Benzyl liquor to 2 phenyl ethanoic Acid: Benzyl liquor responds with PCl5 to shape benzyl chloride.
Benzyl chloride responds with KCN (nucleophilic substitution) to get C6H5CH2CN at that point do finish hydrolysis of the cyanide to get 2 phenyl ethanoic corrosive.
ii) C2H5Cl + KCN - > C2H5CN + KCl then C2H5CN + H2O (H+) - > C2H5COOH (propanoic corrosive).
