Question

How to convert benzoic acid to 3 amino methyl benzene

Answer 1

React the phenyl magnesium bromide with dry ice to obtain benzoic acid. Convert benzene to methyl benzene by reacting it with CH3Cl and anhydrous AlCl3. Oxidize methyl benzene with a powerful oxidizing agent like alkaline KMnO4 we will get benzoic acid. First do alkylation of benzene by using Friedel Crafts method.

Answer 2

Benzene can be converted into benzoic acid as follows.

Step-1:—Conversion of benzene into benzaldehyde.

Benzene on treatment with CO and HCl in presence of anhydrous AlCl₃,formylation takes place to give benzaldehyde.

Step-2:—Conversion of benzaldehyde into benzoic acid.

Benzaldehyde is oxidised by acidified KMnO₄ to form benzoic acid.
