Answer 2

Phenol and benzoyl chloride in the presence of pyridine will give this compound.

Explanation:

• The reactants are the phenol and benzoyl chloride

• Both these groups have the benzene ring in them.

• In presence of polar aprotic solvent pyridine, the benzoyl chloride will get to develop partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on carbon.

• The phenoxy group that is produced from phenol will act as a nucleophile.

• This attacks the carbon and forms a sp3 hybrid intermediate.

• The chloride then acts as a leaving group and leaves the compound.

• This restores the carbon oxygen double bond.
