Question

how to convert benzene to benzophenone ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbonyl oxygen of acid chloride forms complex with AlCl3. Acylium ion is formed which is a strong electrophile.

Acylium ion attacks benzene ring to form arenium ion.

The arenium ion undergoes loss of proton and removal of HCl.

The resultant product from by these three steps will be benzophenone
